Product Description:

Smile is both an AppleScript editor for beginners, and an integrated environment for AppleScript developers. Smile is scriptable, attachable (its objects have scripts), recordable, and factored (internally scripted).

What's new in this version:

  • The cmd-period works better.
  • A bug which prevented Smile from opening some dictionnaries has been fixed.
  • Option-"Open Dictionary" lets you open the dictionary of any running app.
  • The scripting helpers globally work better: List Scripting Additions,
  • Report Scripting Anomalies (aka Post-Compiler), Find Definition, and others.
  • The menus are more scriptable.
  • Windows linked to an app now have a 'context' property to publish their variables.
  • The new 'Scripter's Palette' gathers Smile's time-savvy tools for Editing and Debugging Scripts.
  • The new 'find text' provides a case-insensitive alternate to AppleScript's "offset", and more. 'find text' and 'change' understand Regular Expressions.
  • The new 'chrono' property allows for timing scripts (with accuracy 1/60th second).
  • The new 'mouse location / button' commands allow more scripting of the non-scriptable.
  • The new 'notify ... with delay' command allows to schedule tasks.
  • The new 'convert to mac / to windows' commands translate high-ASCII encodings.

Smile ReviewFor me, this… - Version: 1.8.8, 9/3/2002 02:41AM PST

Gene van Troyer
has been a lifesaver. The version 1.6 script editor that came with my Japanese OS has never worked (it always hangs the Classic system), but Smile has let me access and run scripts to test whether they work. I hope an OSX version, along with the Satimage OSAX are soon to be released. The difficulty in figuring out which comonents to download, and a bug that keeps me from accessing the Help files even though they are installed as suggested, and the fact that the tutorial also doen't want to run, keep me from giving this five stars.

includes the RUN SCRIPT command. It is especially useful if you have a routine you want to use in several other scripts, rather than repeating everything every time. Use it in Script A to "call" Script B.
