Fix iChat AppleScripts in Mountain Lion
After upgrading to mountain lion I expected to have trouble with a few scripts I had been using with "iCal". I was suprised that they kept working, and when I opened them in applescipt editor the lines that said "tell app iCal" had magically changed to "tell app Calendar". I'm not sure why it did this and why iChat doesn't make the same transition (maybe because more than just the name changed?".
Re: Fix iChat AppleScripts in Mountain Lion
Compiled AppleScripts (every type of AppleScript with an extension other than .applescript) are saved as, well, compiled “code” rather than the text you type. For commands, properties, and so forth, the pieces of the script are compiled into the appropriate Apple Event signature. When Script Editor opens a script, it “decompiles” the Apple Events back to human-readable text (whereas when running the scripts, those Apple Events are just sent to apps).

Thanks for the explanation. This makes sense now. |
