Hiroaki Applescript Patch I just downloaded the Hiroaki Applescript Patch ( http://hiroaki.jp/index.php?Quartz%20Composer%2FCustom%20Patches#content... ) and compiled it in xcode but I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried pointing the patch to an applescript file to run, I have also taken the contents of a script and put it in the patch, neither of these way make the patch run, I was wondering if anyone else had had any success with this patch.

I also downloaded and sought to compile the plug in. The build succeeded with a warning:-

This does actually work after a fashion, so I guess that the problem is in the code as evidenced by the XCode build results I got.
Sadly, there is little or no documentation for this patch and no example composition that I can find. Perhaps we ought to just drop Hirokai a line and see if this is a plugin problem he knew about.
Shall tell you more later about running Apple Script variables through the patch, but for now, I might suggest thast you download Apple Script Patch Universal Binary version from Hirokai's Playing Field site and start experimenting with the same item yourself.
Have fun:-)

Update
Hirokai kindly responded to a recent email enquiry I made of him regarding this 3rd party patch, the follwing is a direct quote confirming the non-Leopard compatability of the currently available version.
Oh and just to echo a question from Hirokai - what were you thinking of using the Apple Script patch for?
Anyhow hopes this update to this reply to your original post actually helps to clarify matters for you.
