When you are editing an AppleScript could we have a set of popup menus in the AS editor window that would contain all the Devices, Triggers, Time/Date Actions and Action Groups respectively so when we want to insert the name of a device we would choose it from the Devices menu, etc. This would make getting the device name MUCH easier to get correct and would really help when fixing a script after a device name was changed.

A second request is to have a function to check all applescripts for correctness of the device, trigger, T/D actions, groups. I don't know how possible this is but is would be a massive improvement to be able to verify that you don't have any misspelled names or missing names (you deleted the item after using it in a script). When you have a large installation and make any kind of major change, it would be of immense help if we had these two enhancements.

My previous request of being able to search through all imbedded applescripts would also be of great help.

Great ideas.

On a related thought... Right now it is a real pain to copy code from an AS editing pane (embedded script) into the AS Editor app. Something about the spaces at the beginning of the lines drives the AS Editor crazy. The reason for doing this is the better diagnostics capabilities available in the AS Editor. So, could you figure out why copied script won't paste, and fix the problem.

And a repeat request (not sure if it got logged): How about a Save button on the internal script editor pane. Right now the only way to save is to Ok and re-open.

I've never noticed this before but I'll look into it.

Great request! I have this same issue.
