Hi JC and WeatherCat Scripters,
In the screen shot Number 4 and 5 were both named Weather Cat, not WC Storm Monitor and WC Status Growler as in the Stop Script. When I tried renaming them before Apple Script Editor refused to rename to the correct application names.
Okay sorry, I hadn't noticed that the wrong applications were in those fields. Unfortunately, I have
no idea how that could happen. I just checked again and the AppleScripts are correct on the server. How on earth could the AppleScript editor "randomly pick" some other application name instead of the one I put in there!?!!?
Please try two things. One is to get an original copy of the
WeatherCat Script folder:
http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/AppleScripts/WeatherCat%20Scripts%202012-04-30.zip. Open the
Start WeatherCat Scripts file using the AppleScript Editor and do a Save-As to overwrite the file format. It is known that Lion AppleScript formats are supposed to be different from Snow Leopard formats. The Snow Leopard AppleScripts will run fine on Lion, but editing them has been a problem in the past. So you might have to do the Save-As to avoid any corruptions.
The second thing is an extension of the first. Instead of trying to keep your old installation, instead copy your preferences and weather data into a freshly-downloaded copy of
WeatherCat Script folder. The instructions are included with the latest version and are repeated below:
- Relocate your old version of the folder WeatherCat Scripts to some convenient location like say the Desktop.
- Copy the current version of the WeatherCat Scripts folder to the location where you normally keep the scripts.
- Navigate into the WeatherCat Script Library folder of your old and new WeatherCat Scripts folders.
- Replace the new WeatherCat Script Data Backups and WeatherCat Script Prefs folders in the new WeatherCat Script Library folder with the folders from your old collection. This will move over the current state of your weather data and your preferences.
- Now put your old WeatherCat Scripts folder in the trash and empty the trash before attempting to use the new versions of the AppleScripts.
Let me know if either of these two steps puts your machine back on track.
Sorry, it isn't supposed to be this hard!
Cheers, Edouard
