Chris, Thanks for all of this.
I, too, have had difficulties getting attachment scripts to work, which is one reason why I was asking if anyone else had an approach to this. So far, I'm not able to get your script to work, but it might be a path issue. I often open the first project of the day by double-clicking the .bbprojectd file in the Finder, so what I think I'll do for now is to create an AppleScript application that opens the .bbprojectd file (which will also open BBEdit, of course), and then open CodeKit, Github Desktop, and Transmit. It will be crude, but it should get me where I want to go.
