Muted "say" command & New version 942

[George Handley]

Thanks James,

In the interim I did find your global Find dialog, and am just trying it out when you, wrote.

Also glad to hear you were able to reproduce my control click problem, and from your explanation, because I only have a “Magic” mouse, I can not follow your alternative suggestions. BTW, I hate Apple’s Magic Mouse primarily because it eats two AA batteries in about a week.

Thanks again for your quick support, and I’ll look forward to the next version.

Best wishes,

George

I must have missed it in your new version introduction, but it appears there is no longer  an important tool in the Find command in that you, can no longer find all instances of a phrase or command in ALL scripts at the same time? A nice thing is that you have added and “Find and Replace” for the script your in, but If I need to find all instances of the “Say” command throughout all my scripts, how is that now done?

Searching in all scripts worked, but searching in individual scripts has been more or less broken since then. Now when you search it will always search everything, but when you open up a script it will switch to the official find/replace dialog of OSX just like any other app so you can walk through the individual instances it has found in that script just like text edit.

If you remove the focus from the edit script window then you can hit the find menu again and it will bring up the global search window. I’m not yet sure how best to handle that. Perhaps I’ll add a second menu item for the global search and change which one the shortcut applies to so that you can still select the opposite one, but for now that is how it works.

Yes, I see that control-clicking in the new list no longer brings up the contextual menu the way that it should. If you right click from the mouse it does come up and if you use the 2 finger click on a trackpad it comes up properly, but holding down the control key does seem to be broken. This is actually a problem with the lower level list control, I’ll report a bug to them, but I’ve found a way to trap the event in the meantime as a work around and it will be back in the next version.
