I am preparing yet another Script Debugger 4 maintenance release. This release addresses some annoying issues that have surfaced since the 4.0.5 release.
I decided to do one more round of beta testing because this build includes changes to the bundled compiled script and bundled script application saving code and I want to ensure that these changes are solid before releasing the product widely.
BETA NOTE: Keep backups of your bundled compiled scripts and bundled script applications when you begin using this build of Script Debugger just in case there is a problem and you need to recover.
You can download the software here:
Universal build requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later (13.1MB)
If you are running 10.3 (Panther), you need to use this version instead (10MB)
Changes in 4.0.6b4:
13586 – Addressed a problem where the variable name ‘errMsg’ is not displayed by the debugger in ‘on error’ handlers when the variable name ‘errNum’ is also used.
13587 – Script Debugger can now open text scripts incorrectly tagged as compiled scripts by the script file’s HFS file type.
13650 – The CFBundleName property list key no longer includes a random number when exporting run-only bundled applications.
13474 – Improved the on-line documentation for debugging Folder Actions handlers.
13472 – Improved the on-line documentation concerning the saving of event log settings with script documents.
13647, 13648 – Subversion .svn directories (and other custom directories located outside the Contents/Resources directory) are now properly preserved when saving bundled compiled scripts and bundled script applications.
13649 – The CFBundleIdnetifier and CFBundleShortVersionString property list keys are now preserved when saving bundled compiled scripts and bundled script applications.
Hey Mark. Glad to see you started a blog. One thing that I’d like to put in as a request is to be able to set up custom keyboard shortcuts. Failing that, at least set up keyboard shortcuts for comment/uncomment. I’ve tried using OS X’s built-in method (from the Keyboard preference pane) but SD doesn’t respond to the added keyboard shortcuts.
I’m also a huge fan of Affrus. My only gripe with that app is the horizontal split of the interface when debugging. I would prefer to see it split vertically. Perhaps you could make it a user preference, similar to how Panic’s Coda application works.
I have another request. Make “Find Again” wrap when it reaches the end of a document.
Belay that last request. I didn’t realize I had to turn on the option in the Find window in order for it to work when using the command-G keyboard shortcut.
