This is amazing! You are the only REAL GOOD source about AppleScript! This language will survive the next 100 years, because its a REAL automation. I really hope to see more of you in this series in future! Thank you!!!!

Thanks for the demo! Being new to MacOS, I genuinely thought this was used to write movie/play scripts.

I’ve been putting off learning this since the 1990’s…your playlist looks too logical to ignore! Thanks in advance, ‘liked’ & subscribed.

exciting stuff and very well explained. I have been looking for tips on automating tasks with AppleScript but couldn’t find anything convincing. I hope you will raise enough interest to keep the channel going. Good luck!

Appreciate, but can get to first base. First, do I need the Utilities Folder box on the right. When I started recording the record button is greyed out, and there is no folder on the bottom right. Need AppleScript for dummies to get the very basics. Thx, I'll try to catch up.
Update: Got the record to start but can't stop it and can't figure out how to tell it to add a new folder.

Hi, if it's possible could you do a tutorial on how to play an audio or video file from QuickTime Player?

Cool! But every time I’ve tried the record button in an app like mail it does (records) absolutely nothing! 😢

This moves too fast. Seems designed for Apple nerds only and not for a virgin word processosr. Also, how come my previous comment was removed??? You censor comments? Really?
