AStudio & Properties

Why don’t AppleScript Studio property values persist between app uses as do script apps created in Script Editor?
I’ve found it a very convienient way to hold some user settings, but AStudio scripts don’t seem to store them. Whats the prefered method of holding values without going to an external prefs file?

This topic has been covered here before. Search “user-defaults” and/or “default entry” to get pointed in the right direction.

Hope this helps,

The user defaults system is hard at first and IMHO poorly documented.

However once you get it down it really works better than persistent properties.

Properties are really just globals in AS Pro that can be set to a value initially.

If you have any questions about the user defaults you can email me.
