i didnt have much luck with applescript. resons?
im not a programmer-guy. my poor brain is more right-wing. learning max/msp fairly well has taken me almost 10 years.
many programs and some Finder-actions dont respond, or respond poorly to apple-events
there is a recordfunction in applescript, but it does not record some basic things eg. mousemoves or menuchoises
it seems to me it is not so well integrated in the system sometimes creating conflicts
also, its often kinda slow, especially applets
still, i ended up using it together with osa-menu. this means i can change creator on a selection with an key-combination shortcut. or change settings in the soundpanel without opening it.
i think applescript is a really great idea but should probably have been built on a lower level...
these workshops that youve found looks good thou...you should try them!
