... in the sense that we are not all-seeing, I suppose. I now bow out of this subject, except to add that I was probably under the illusion that this sub-forum is about scriptng questions and OXZ release/update announcements...

Quitd so, this discussion of this oxp seems exactly the place to raise deprecation warnings to the author. Far from irrelevant, the whole reason we have deprecation is to allow things to be fixed before they break and letting people know is an important first step.

Do you have nightmares about AppleMacs? And if not, why not?

Just to add this (from the AppleMac's Terminal "plutil" faultfinder)

Code: Select all

2024-02-23 09:20:06.794 plutil[20799:1036895] CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary on line 166. Parsing will be abandoned. Break on _CFPropertyListMissingSemicolon to debug.

But according to ATOM there seemed nothing wrong there - and adding a semicolon at the beginning or at the end of the line wrecked the syntax according to it.

Based on what I fixed, has Lave Academy *ever* worked on a Mac?

The old version worked just fine. I even managed one or two of the training packages!
