AppleScriptObjC in Script Debugger 6
The most important new AppleScriptObjC feature, and the most obvious, is how Script Debugger displays results. Instead of
«class ocid»..., you will see much more.[…]
First, although case matters in AppleScriptObjC, code completion is case-insensitive. You can type
NSSornss, and get the same result; the correct case will be inserted. You can also use the tab key within the completion list; this is very helpful where there are multiple methods with similar names.[…]
Script Debugger includes terminology for the following frameworks: Foundation, AppKit, Quartz, AVFoundation, AddressBook, Contacts, CoreImage, CoreLocation, CoreWLAN, EventKit, JavaScriptCore, MapKit, OSAKit, and WebKit. The information is collated from the frameworks themselves and from header files, with some filtering applied to remove many methods that cannot be used from AppleScriptObjC.
[…]
Finally, there is an important limitation. Script Debugger runs scripts on a background thread, so any code that needs to be run on the main thread needs to use the method
performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone:to do it. If not, you are likely to freeze or crash Script Debugger.
