Some headway into the winds of AppleScript Studio
I finally got the first level of items working in an outline view with AppleScript Studio last night. My first approach was to implement the outline view without a datasource since it's a waste of time to load the whole ZODB tree at once. The example application in /Developer/Examples/AppleScript Studio/Outline is supposed to be an outline view implemented without a datasource, but it won't work correctly with the April Dev Tools. It makes me skeptical as to whether my first approach would have worked at all. After several complete failures using that approach I decided to try to use a datasource and just insert new items in it when nodes get expanded. I think I should be able to easily insert items after the item that's being expanded, but I'm not sure it will be as easy as I think it will. Anyhow, I think I'm finally starting to "get" the AppleScript way. AS Studio is very poorly documented right now, but I'm guessing that will change in the future. When (if) I get everything working I'll comment and post the code.
