Let us try this yet again:
The point of this exercise is for me to build and market a custom
application that provides scripted control of the GUI of a commercial
appliation, in order to add certain specific features that are not
available either as standard features of the commerical app *or* as
scripted features using normal applescript techniques. This is something I
have done in the past, pre - OSX.
(2) How is it worse to require users of your app to buy QuicKeys or whatever, when they are already required to own some other commercial app to use your app?
How is it worse to buy TWO applications from two different vendors? Well,
it probably costs more don't you suppose?
The pre - OSX version of Facespan did exactly what I need: let me build
self-contained apps that have the features I create, and which I can
distribute on my terms. I asked if Rev had these features. It appears that
it does not.
I haven't been following this thread very closely, but as you seem to be getting thoroughly frustrated, I thought I would stick my neck out too :-)
- AppleScript under OS X can interact with ANY application using GUI scripting - the application does not have to be scriptable as GUI scripting allows you to click, type etc.
- Revolution can call any AppleScript and makes it much easier to apply variables and analyze results as well as providing a GUI for your app.
- Applications built using Revolution can be freely distributed.
Does this help answer your question?
