I want to programmatically create NIB (or XIB) resource files - like resource import tool. Making XIB file manually is not impossible, it is XML-based file, but there are too many unspecified items. So, I'd like to use AppleScript to drive IB itself and create the resources with it, but I fail to do so - I can't create any new items and...

I'm building an Applescript that will scan my network every X minutes, checking for my house's Xbox360 or PS3 and enabling my Transmission BitTorrent client Speed-Limit Mode when either console is online. Currently I can only Pause all transfers or resume all transfers using applescript, as there are separate key-commands for start/stop...
I am using Appscript - a Python interface to AppleScript - in a project of mine that basically gets data from a Mac application. Here is a sample code: asobj = app('Things').to_dos()[0] self.id = asobj.id() self.name = asobj.name() self.status = asobj.status() Every invocation of the properties (id, name, status) does...

I'm wondering if there's an AppleScript / Carbon / Cocoa / C way to refresh or reset a preview icon of a Finder file...

However, when I write a script to take advantage of this ability, the script is passed the message previous to the new one in the list (or maybe the currently selected message - not sure). Searching around, I see other folks expe...
I need to run a script as part of an application first-run step, to remove some legacy components from a previous version. Typically these components are installed in either $HOME/Library or /Library, and the script can simply move them to the trash. The problem is, in the case where the user is not an administrator, and the components ...
I have a <property> in my Cocoa project's sdef file, and I can get my Applescripts to read the property correctly, but I can't get them to set it (I get an error in the Applescript Editor). My sdef is pasted below. Is there a special convention for the property? I would have thought it'd just be - (void) setLength:(NSNumber *)len;. Is i...
