- Yeah, that's fairly annoying. I think Skype has tear-off-able windows but that might only be for voice calls, not chat windows.
- The new Music app (which is really just iTunes with all the videos, podcasts, and other crap ripped out) now just manages music — it's oriented towards Apple Music by default but a couple of clicks in the View menu changes that.
- duskwuff 7y ago> Scripting isn't gone. The OSA services are still there; Python isn't installed by default but that's all. Python is still installed by default. Launching /usr/bin/python (2.7.16) prints a big warning about how "future versions of macOS will not include Python 2.7", but that's because Python2 is EOL.
- zapzupnz 7y agoThanks for the clarification! Either way, the scripting capability is still very much a part of the system.
- godDLL 7y agoSo the new Music app is scriptable, is what you're saying? And the rest of Apple's own?
- zapzupnz 7y agoYes, the new Music app is literally just iTunes with the podcasts, audiobooks, and such taken out. It still retains all the Music-related scriptability. At a glance, the new Podcasts app isn't scriptable but the TV app is.
