AppleScript vs. JavaScript
- Consider JavaScript for mobile automation due to broader compatibility.
- AppleScript remains powerful for Mac-specific tasks.
Automating System Preferences with AppleScript
- Rosemary Orchard automated opening System Preferences to the Sound pane using AppleScript within a Bunch setup.
- This streamlines her podcasting workflow.
Directly Accessing System Preferences
- Use AppleScript to access specific System Preferences panes directly.
- This overcomes macOS's limitations in automating access to settings panels.
