My app supports being scripted with Applescript.
I am trying to make styled text content from my app, stored in NSAttributedString objects, available to an Applescript user. I thought I could simply deliver styled text with the NSAttributedString class, just like I deliver plain text with the NSString class, but that does not work - Cocoa Scripting then reports that it caot convert or coerce the data.
I wonder if I'm missing something or if this is just plain impossible with the standard classes supported by Cocoa Scripting?
AppleScript does, after all, know of the "Styled Text" type, as seen in this example:
set stxt to "Styled string" as styled text
So, if AppleScript knows this type by default, shouldn't the Cocoa Scripting engine support it as well somehow?
