Dialog Toolkit Plus isMainThread Error

AppleScript Dialog Toolkit
#62

I’ve not been able to understand all the posts on this thread but, in case it’s relevant, I found last year that editing DTP 1.1.3 in Script Editor works but editing in Script Debugger results in the “NSThread doesn’t understand the “isMainThread” message” error. I could not find out why. But, I’ve not had the error since.

@dean one other thing you could test: change the OSAAppleScriptObjCEnabled entry to NO. If the value is being read, that should guarantee 100% failure rate. If it works at all, it would suggest something more complicated is going on.

#64

Votes are in it absolutely resolved the issue. See the other post too.

#65

I can confirm that, since a couple of month now, all my librairies has the OSAAppleScriptObjCEnabled set to yes and I never encounter this issue again.

#66

So, for those of us who are having this same issue with running scripts in FastScripts and other menus, the solution seems to be to locate the plist file for the libraries and set OSAAppleScriptObjCEnabled to yes.

Is that correct?

#67

Yes. Thanks to @dean.

EDIT: Found my error in previous script. This version works.

use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later
use scripting additions
use script "filemanagerlib"
property ASOBJCEnabledPrefKey : "<key>OSAAppleScriptObjCEnabled</key>"
property ASOBJCEnabledPrefValue : "<true/>"

I would have it copy a new version renamed. I added modded to mine with the plist, update permissions on contents to read/write and just have it use the new one if your exporting as run only. I’m sure @ShaneStanley will chime in.
