Script Editor problem ...

Hi,

I work with OS 10.4.11 and Script Editor 2.1.1. I also have a newer version of the Script Editor (2.1.2) but I cannot open it. What is the last compatible version of the AS editor with OS 10.4.11and where I can get it ?

Thanks in advance.

I have Script Editor 2.1.1 on OS 10.4.11 (PPC). Where did you find 2.1.2 (Intel maybe)?

I don’t recall where I got it from, but it is installed and it crashes on startup.

I just found it again on my computer after a download of an update from Apple. It does not open … ???

On Tiger more so then Leopard you can not trust the Get Info box or System Profiler to get the correct version number.

i.e…
Even if you’re running Safari 4 beta, System Profiler will tell you it’s version 3.0.4 because it reads the “CFBundleShortVersionString” in the “Info.plist” file and Apple didn’t change it.

I made a mistake by telling you that Tiger’s Script Editor is v 2.1.1.
System Profiler (in this case) will give you the correct version number - it’s v 2.1.2.
This time Apple didn’t change the “CFBundleGetInfoString” in the “Info.plist” file so the Get Info box will read v 2.1.1.

Go into the bundle and find out what the real version number is of the one you downloaded. Check the “Info.plist” and “version.plist” files.
