Changes in the 7A18 build

  • 844: When an Enhanced Applet has its Show Startup flag set to TRUE and an empty script description, the following text appears in the applet’s startup screen: Your script’s description goes here.

  • 838: Corrected a bug in Enhanced Applets where launching the applet by dropping files on it would cause the applet to fail to launch properly.

  • 843: Enhanced Applets now show a Startup Screen when they contain an on open handler.

  • 842: Corrected a bug that prevents the deletion of script variables using the explorer when debugging is enabled.

  • 837: Enhanced applet scripting addition overrides activate to show sheets.

  • 834: Results for Cocoa objects with very long descriptions will have them truncated.

  • 832: Fixed a regression that disabled AppleScriptObjC code-completion.

  • 830: Integrated FancyDroplet into Script Debugger as a new document type: enhanced application. Enhanced Applet Release Notes.

  • 827: Allow Script Debugger 7 beta builds to auto-update via Sparkle.

  • 547: The Open Quickly panel displays one entry for multiple search hits (name, content) on a single file. Relevance is the maximum of name or content search hits.

  • 823: Advance copyright date to 2018.

  • 819: Clicking a window close button while in the version browser now exits the browser.

  • 818: You can now delete individual elements and element collections directly form application explorers.

  • 817: You can delete sub-items items of list and records in explorers. You can also delete global variables/properties and properties of script objects from the variables explorer.

  • 816: If you edit a sub-item value of a global variable (list or record), and then reset the variable’s value by re-running the script, the explorer will correctly display the list or record’s subitem values.

  • 612: The Resources list contextual menu has a new menu item, Add Script Libraries Folder, which creates a Script Libraries folder in the correct directory.

  • 794: Corrected a bug where the Toggle Debugging toolbar item was not available when debugging is disabled.

  • 648: Code completion is again summonsed by the esc key.

  • 777: Remove any existing Script Debugger.plist file when exporting as Run-Only.

#2

The changes in the 7A18 build are actually 844/838/843/842/837/834/832, all the rest was changed in previous builds. Maybe putting a line there would make it clearer.

#3

The fixes to Enhanced Applet appear to be working. Thanks!

I am noticing one additional issue: When saved as an Enhanced Applet, a Cancel button in display dialog does not cancel the script.

#4

Are you sure the script hasn’t been saved as stay-open?

#5

Not saved as stay open. Sending you the script.

#6

It looks like the “Accept Folders” and extensions options under Droplet behavior are sticking around and applying to other scripts. Once I uncheck Accept Folders as part of a save, for example, and then open an older script, suddenly the last chosen options are being saved with that script and all other scripts I open.

#7

Installed SD7, but it did not migrate my settings.

I found and manually moved my clippings, scripts,& templates.

Where should I look to get my key bindings & text substitutions?

#8

You’ll need to copy the ~/Library/Preferences/com.latenightsw.ScriptDebugger6.plist file to ~/Library/Preferences/com.latenightsw.ScriptDebugger7.plist.
