Can that process be automated ? General speaking, you can make standard installer to install AppleScript applets. Though I don't make such a installer with latest version of Xcode. Is there a way of using at the shortcuts URL scheme run the shortcut in place i.e. without opening the shortcuts app ? Or, can the URL scheme be used to call the Shortcuts Event app ? You can execute Shotcuts by using Shortcuts Events.app without launching Shortcuts.app. But....URL event is a kind of Apple's security broker. Apple want to keep them inactive....Some minor macOS update may effect your app due to the security reason or bug.

You can embed profile with "embed this_image with source" command. And..."profile" have to be an actual profile. Your code seems to use undeclared variable "profile". You have to set some ICC profile to other variable such as "myProfile". Then..... embed this_image with source myProfile will be executed. AppleScript's rexical coloring is important function to write AppleScript. Apple's default color setting is nightmare. It can not detect some different rexical elements. This is my rexical coloring in Script Editor. It can detect the difference of each rexical elements. http://piyocast.com/as/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/edf39d5e74f06d49cbe0d21a20cffb75-660x1024.png

Yes. You're right. I did. You can call the framework call YOLOv3.mlmodel from AppleScript. I called self-made mlmodel like this. http://piyocast.com/as/archives/4853

I wrote an ebook about 7 AppleScript-able web browser scripting (PDF 330pages). Scripting about Safari, Google Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Brave Browser and Opera. https://piyomarusoft.booth.pm/items/3664077 I wrote about this issue in my ebook.

Did you set up Safari to execute "do javascript" AppleScript command? tell application "Safari" make new document with properties {URL:"http://piyocast.com/as"} end tell If this script works, AppleScript itself works with Safari. tell application "Safari" set aRes to do JavaScript "var selObj = window.getSelection(); var selStr = (selObj).getRangeAt(0); unescape(selStr);" in front document end tell display dialog aRes If this script does not work, you have to allow Safari to execute "do JavaScript" command. Safari v10 or later exhibit to execute "do JavaScript" command by default. You have to enable "Develop" menu from Safari's preferences setting. And....execute "Allow JavaScript from Apple Events" command from Safari'sDevelop menu (this operation require admin password).

I checked .heic images on my Mac mini M1 (macOS 13.3beta) by using your script. One heic images returns {"samplesPerPixel", "hasAlpha", "dpiHeight", "dpiWidth", "space", "bitsPerSample", "formatOptions", "pixelHeight", "profile", "path", "pixelWidth", "format", "typeIdentifier"} But most of images returns {"samplesPerPixel", "hasAlpha", "dpiHeight", "dpiWidth", "bitsPerSample", "profile", "formatOptions", "ExifColorSpace", "pixelHeight", "path", "creation", "software", "space", "pixelWidth", "format", "make", "model", "typeIdentifier"} So, I don't think Image Events can not read "creation" Exif value. Today macOS has various bugs everywhere. Importer program is doubtful.

The heic image which returns {"samplesPerPixel", "hasAlpha", "dpiHeight", "dpiWidth", "space", "bitsPerSample", "formatOptions", "pixelHeight", "profile", "path", "pixelWidth", "format", "typeIdentifier"} did not return creation date by another AppleScript execution. -- Created 2014-12-14 by Takaaki Naganoya -- 2014 Piyomaru Software use AppleScript version "2.4" use scripting additions use framework "Foundation" use BPlus : script "BridgePlus" --https://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/BridgePlus.html property NSString : a reference to current application's NSString property NSLocale : a reference to current application's NSLocale property SMSForder : a reference to current application's SMSForder property NSDateFormatter : a reference to current application's NSDateFormatter set aTargFile to choose file of type {"public.image"} set exifRes to readExifDateTimeOriginal(aTargFile) of me --指定ファイルからのExifデータを取得し撮影日付を取得する on readExifDateTimeOriginal(aTargFileAlias) set theMetadata to readMetadataFrom(aTargFileAlias) of me set keysList to theMetadata's allKeys() if "{Exif}" is not in (keysList as list) then return false set exifDate to theMetadata's valueForKeyPath:"{Exif}.DateTimeOriginal" if exifDate = missing value then return false set fullDate to dateFromStringWithDateFormat(exifDate, "yyyy:MM:dd HH:mm:ss") of me return fullDate end readExifDateTimeOriginal --指定ファイルからのメタデータ読み込み on readMetadataFrom(imageFile) load framework set {theRecord, theError} to SMSForder's metadataFromImage:imageFile |error|:(specifier) if theRecord = missing value then -- there was a problem, so extract the error description error (theError's localizedDescription() as text) -- number (theError's code()) else return theRecord end if end readMetadataFrom --日付文字列を形式指定しつつdate objectに変換 on dateFromStringWithDateFormat(dateString, dateFormat) set dStr to NSString's stringWithString:dateString set dateFormatStr to NSString's stringWithString:dateFormat set aDateFormatter to NSDateFormatter's alloc()'s init() aDateFormatter's setDateFormat:dateFormatStr aDateFormatter's setLocale:(NSLocale's alloc()'s initWithLocaleIdentifier:"en_US_POSIX") set aDestDate to (aDateFormatter's dateFromString:dStr) return aDestDate as any end dateFromStringWithDateFormat

Your approach seems far from the correct answer.

Hi, How do you get the path data? I got my selected file track on my Music.app by simple AppleScript. tell application "Music" set aList to selection set aTrack to first item of aList location of aTrack end tell This script returns alias type data. AppleScript's native path format is alias. Each file track has "location" property and it is not read only. It is change-able property. http://piyocast.com/as/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/music_dict_part.png So you will be able to select new location to each missing file tracks. One track is a piece of cake. 5,000? Hmm...we have to take other approarch. We can write fixing AppleScript. But it requires remote checking and specification document....I will do that work on condition that I get paid for it.

My blog "AppleScript Hole" hosts thousands of AppleScript examples. Each "★Click Here to Open This Script" link in each AppleScript program list will transfer script source. http://piyocast.com/as/

Smarter restart AppleScript is here. tell application "loginwindow" to «event aevtrrst»

NSAttributedString can handle RTF or RTFD. I don't think it can handle Word documents (.docx). Check it at first. And...You can not debug it with Terminal.app (osascript). You have to use LateNight Software's Script Debugger. https://latenightsw.com/

I wrote an ebook about remote drive mount AppleScript. https://piyomarusoft.booth.pm/items/3909458 Contents: --How to check the location of each drive --Check file server existence by Randezvous --How to write "mount drive" command.

You can execute JavaScript in AppleScript by using WebKit or JavaScriptCore. use AppleScript version "2.4" use scripting additions use framework "Foundation" use framework "JavaScriptCore" use framework "WebKit" --JavaScript Text set jsText to "let bar = 2; bar += 2; " --Execute JavaScript in WebKit set theWebView to current application's WebView's alloc()'s init() set x to (theWebView's stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsText) as text log {x, "2"} --Execute JavaScript in JavaScript Core set theContext to current application's JSContext's alloc()'s init() set theJSValue to theContext's evaluateScript:jsText log {theJSValue, "3"} You have to execute this AppleScript on Script Editor by Control-Command-R(Run in Main thread).

If you're talking about "private browsing mode" as "incognito mode", it's easy. You can control FireFox by using GUI Scripting (via System Events). "keystroke" command can make key press event. "click" command can make menu click event. Whole GUI Scripting how-to is in my ebook. https://piyomarusoft.booth.pm/items/4230018
