Just a few comments after having looked at the recent changes from eric and mox:
->eric:
- in the script you are asking why the footprint is generated *before* the
conversion takes place. the
idea was to find out if the user has permission to write into the application's
font folder. because the
footprint is generated in the same folder I first try to create the footprint.
if this fails the font
conversion will fail as well so I can omit it.
- the most simlpe way to intoduce a global variable or better a constant like
the user prefs directory is
to provide a function that returns the folder name, so it is written only once
in the code like:
on getUserPrefsPath()
set myHome to do shell script "echo $HOME"
set oooPrefsPath to POSIX path of myHome & "/Library/Application
Support/OpenOffice.org2"
return oooPrefsPath
end getUserPrefsPath
- note: the user/fonts directory has to be generated if it does not exist
(which is the normal situation)!
and you also only have to bring up the question about user font conversion if
the user has any private
fonts installed.
->mox:
- when I wrote parts of the script I was also playing with properties in order
to have global variables.
the problem is that applescript tries to save the values of those properties
back to the script upon
exiting. however, this is not possible if you do not have write access to the
script and you will get an
error. just try it with an ordinary user account or make the script read-only.
- how is your localization working ?
our idea was to use OOo's localization process which generates .ulf files that
contain a section for each
string and then for each language an entry like localeidentifier="string" the
idea is to generate an
applescript file from those files where the string table is put into a list of
records. this list can then be
accessed by a function. the resulting applescript file would then be installed
together with main.scpt.
to find out the current locale you can use the following query:
set theSysInfo to system info
set theLocale to user locale of theSysInfo
you can then use 'theLocale' to index into the array
