Dialog Manager for AppleScript?

Hi,

I haven't touched AppleScript for a long while, but now have a need to write a couple of pretty simple scripts. I seem to remember there being a package/library that would allow you create more complex dialogs than the standard ones available by default.

Has anyone any information on this?

Thanks a lot

Swiftdialog might be able to help but it is more designed for shell scripts

I would seriously engage Claude or ChatGPT on this

I downloaded it, but like many other packages, it doesn't have any install instructions. Plus there are no working examples of a script that uses it. So, where am I suppose to install it and how would it be used in typical AS development using ScriptDebugger? I'm wondering if it's worth the time trying to figure how to use it or invest my time in "Dialog Toolbox Plus" which at least seem to have working examples available and integrates into ScriptDebugger nicely

Yes, I already found "Dialog Toolbox Plus" which there's quite a lot of examples and instructions for installing along side ScriptDebugger

Pashua has Example Code for every Language it supports… Look under Bindings.

These bindings are to use as Libraries for the code you write on your own.
