Script>Record button not available?

Script Debugger
#1

Hi!
I’m new here- so don’t kill me :slight_smile:
I have a new empty script (“compiled script”) and want to record sth in finder. But under “script” in the symbol bar I only find “compile”, but not the expected “record” button.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks, Gu!

Script Debugger no longer supports recording. Security changes in macOS have made it just impractical.

As Shane says, the Record feature was removed from Script Debugger in the 8.0.2 maintenance release:

You can record using script editor, but recording has always been of limited use.

I only used it for figuring out how an app references an object or property, but even then it was not reliable, and I mostly use Script Debugger for that kind of thing now.
