Use UTIs for AppleScript actions Fixes #1916

[pjrobertson]

Makes sure that AppleScript actions have their direct/indirect types converted to UTIs.

Note: The wiki/docs should be updated to state that UTIs can now be used for AppleScript actions, so you can filter by UTI for direct/indirect type.
E.g. indirect type: only folders

:)

Now, what about #1826?

[pjrobertson]

That's unrelated really. That pull is more about trying to manage how QS deals with objects returned from an AS. This pull dealt with dObject/iObject types.

We still have no idea how to convert returned objects into their correct type, except using sniffWithString:

It doesn't look like the wiki was updated with this (http://qsapp.com/wiki/AppleScript_Types). I would be happy to add it, assuming I knew exactly what it does :). I'm guessing you can now list a UTI string for a type which means it works items that are a file of the given UTI type?

[pjrobertson]

Yep, so for the get direct types and get indirect types you can list any file UTI to narrow down the types of files the action works with. E.g. specifying com.apple.application-bundle then the applescript action would only work with files.

Yes please - if you could update the wiki that'd be useful :)

I've updated http://qsapp.com/wiki/AppleScript_Types with some UTI information and a little more on how to get QS Object Types. Please do double-check I have it right :).

[pjrobertson]

Yep, it looks good. I see you’ve already added a link to the Apple UTI list which is great :)
