394581 - Camino's AppleScript dictionary contains a number of non-functional Standard Suite items

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Camino Graveyard :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

We're now including a (vanilla) Standard Suite, but a number of the items in the Standard Suite compile but don't actually function.

Inexhaustive list:

* save
* duplicate
* make
* print

Some of these are commands that people might reasonably expect to use if present in the dictionary, so either we should remove them or insert "Unimplemented" or whatnot in the dictionary.

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/ScriptableCocoaApplications/SApps_script_cmds/SAppsScriptCmds.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001242-SW14 has a little bit of info about how we'd hook this up.

> * duplicate

This mostly works for bookmarks; syntax is a little awkward, as expected with these types of scripting commands :P  Not really sure it's necessary for tabs/bwindows

> * make

This works for bookmarks, but not tabs/browser windows (bug 395712/bug 395711)

> * print

To handle the pdoc AppleEvent, see http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/ScriptableCocoaApplications/SApps_handle_AEs/SAppsHandleAEs.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001239-1122706; presumably the same basic infrastructure would be required for printing the contents of an existing tab (browser window).

Technically, "print browser window 1" works, but it prints the entire window, not just the web page, and the visible web page in the window isn't pretty :P

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2082.html might also be useful for printing; dunno.
