When I try to run my Applescript Application in Xcode, it opens 2 apps. One quits immediately the other quits after a while. It is one of my first applications so I’m really a noob. This is my code.
on awake from nib theObject
using terms from application "Things"
tell application "Things"
activate
set myList to {} -- list met alle to do s opstellen
set myCount to 1
repeat (count every to do of list "Next") times
set beginning of myList to name of to do myCount of list "Next"
set myCount to myCount + 1
end repeat
end tell
end using terms from
set contents of table view 1 of scroll view 1 of window 1 to myList -- list naar table
end awake from nib
on clicked theObject
if name of theObject is "OKbutton" then
set myToDo to contents of data cell 1 of selected data row of table view 1 of scroll view 1 of window 1 -- zet naam in variabele
using terms from application "Things"
tell application "Things" to tell list "next" to tell to do myToDo -- naam, datum, tags & notes in variabele zetten
set myName to name as string
set myDate to creation date as string
set myTags to tag names as string
set myNotes to notes as string
end tell
end using terms from
-- text fields in zetten
set contents of text field "teName" of window 1 to myName
set contents of text field "teDate" of window 1 to myDate
set contents of text field "teTags" of window 1 to myTags
set contents of text field "teNotes" of window 1 to myNotes
end if
end clicked
on should quit after last window closed theObject
quit
end should quit after last window closed
it takes information of the app “Things” and displays it in a nice Graphical Interface. But my app doesn’t want to start. So pleas help
Thanx,

The return value of the on should quit after last window closed handler must be an boolean value.
True does quit the app after the last window closed, false does not
on should quit after last window closed theObject
return true
end should quit after last window closed
have you connected the awake from nib handler in Interface Builder?
To check whether the handler is called, add this line inside the awake form nib hander
log "awake from nib"
and open the console (⇧⌘R)
by the way: The using terms from blocks are not necessary
Edit:
this part
using terms from application "Things"
tell application "Things"
activate
set myList to {} -- list met alle to do s opstellen
set myCount to 1
repeat (count every to do of list "Next") times
set beginning of myList to name of to do myCount of list "Next"
set myCount to myCount + 1
end repeat
end tell
end using terms from
does the same as
tell application "Things" to set theList to reverse of (get name of to dos of list "Next")
set contents of table view 1 of scroll view 1 of window 1 to myList
to avoid problems it’s recommended to name each UI element.
In Interface Builder name the window and the table view (including scroll view) in the AppleScript tab of the inspector and then use this reference e.g
set contents of table view "tableView" of scroll view "scrollView" of window "main" to myList
¢ You had a second script with a similar name, and some UI elements were connected to that script.
¢ The problem which caused the crash was the action button which was connected to an event handler but no script was selected.
In the AppleScript tab of the inspector you must always select a script if you connect any event handler.
But if no event handler is connected for the specified UI element, there’s no need to select a script.
Consider that many UI elements have multiple layers e.g. scroll view > table view > cell.
Check always the window title of the inspector to have chosen the proper element
I just have one more question, why is my on quit handler not working?
