Add AppleScript Support to Applications

It is rather simple to add AppleScript support to an application, here's how:

Step 1: Open the application in Finder.

Step 2: Right click on the application and select "Show Package Contents".

Step 3: In the window that opens, open the "Info.plist" file inside the "Contents" folder using TextEdit.

Step 4: Search the document (Cmd-F) for "NSAppleScriptEnabled". If you find it, look under it for "<false/>" and change the "false" to "true". Save the file (Cmd-S) and skip to step 6.

Step 5: If you don't find the NSAppleScriptEnabled item, you'll need to add it. Scroll to the bottom of the document and look for "</dict>". Add the following two lines of text right above that:

<key>NSAppleScriptEnabled</key>
<true/>

You'll probably want to add tabs to the beginning of the lines to make them line up with the rest of the items. Hit Cmd-S to save.

Step 6: Now, all you need to do is let your computer know that you made the change. To do this, open up Terminal and run this one-line Terminal command:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

You should now be able to perform basic AppleScript functions in the previously unsupported application.
