Transitioning Jelly Leopard Default to Snow Leopard JS Syntax compatible version

cybero's picture

Well, well, well - look what I found when I opened up the Jelly visualizer previously bundled in with Leopard, after extracting the same directly from the Leopard 10.5 DVD to System/Library/Compositions under Snow Leopard in the new and highly impressive QC 4. [Great interface improvements within, just to be different :-) , gets a thumbs up from me in almost every way thus so far.]

See the attached file "jellyJSEditorIncorrectType.png" - as you might see, the syntax errors were minimal to say the least and clearly had nothing to do with the editor, but I am pleased to say the efficiency of the error trapping inherent within the JS Patch editor has greatly improved, as this didn't show up in QC 3 at all.

The 'solution' - just set the appropriate counts and the error disappears.

See attached file, "JSCorrectJellyinSnowLeopardQC4[lovinit].tiff", with the slight changes needed.

Interestingly enough, the Jelly visualizer works AOK even when the scripting is even that bit tiny wee bit 'dodgy' - so whatever, just does demonstrate well the usefulness of the feature, especially useful the error is crucial. I'm sure that will prove useful.
