Tim Bumgarner, of AppleScript Studio Engineering fame, has posted two new sets of .h/.m files to his web site. The first is "Event Support" which provides some accessors to some of the modifier keys for the 'event' class that aren't working in 1.0 of Studio. The second is the "Localized String" support. This provides support (again through the 'call method' command) that let's you load a string from a localized .strings file.

But the fact that it's now rolled into Photoshop on both Mac and Windows platforms should make scripting more pervasive for those enticed by its workflow-smoothing possibilities."
