To script a UI application you also need the developers to stop moving things around. I suspect this would be hard, since they are not used to it mattering, if they swap the order of two input fields or such. In the text based world, there is much more aversion to changing the flags.
- blakeyrat 10y agoIf you use AppleEvents correctly, moving things around wouldn't matter, because the scripting interface is completely divorced from the GUI displayed on screen. AppleEvents are things like: "File Open with this path", "Print page 4 of file", "Save As to this path". If someone creates AppleEvents like, "Click button 4 on dialog 2", then they're doing it very wrong.
