Somehow, the Script Editor application (that ships with OS X) allowed me to save my only copy of an AppleScript I’ve been working on all weekend as a “Run-Only” script.
Now, I have a script that needed a little more tweaking in a “run-only” format, and I have no way (as far as I know) to recover the original source code.
This is unacceptable. There is no way in hell a code editor should allow you to obliterate the source code without so much as a warning. Granted, I have no idea what I’m doing with either A) AppleScript or B) Script Editor, but as a reasonably accomplished programmer in a few other languages and environments, I don’t see why this should be such an ass-backwards environment.
Someone at Apple: fix Script Editor. That isn’t permissible behaviour, probably even under your own usability guidelines.
