Document Renaming

I was a UNIX admin for a decade or more, so I’m pretty well versed in it. AppleScript vs JacaScript, I just don’t know.

Care to elaborate? I’m aware that JXA support is partially broken, but that does not really say anything about JS vs AS, rather about Apple’s inability or unwillingness to provide a modern automation framework

As for your other arguments: of course, if someone is using only a Mac, AS might be ok (were it a better and better supported language, that is). However, l believe most in Mac users are also i*OS users. And many might even be doing web development. Neither i*OS nor the Web is accessible in a reasonably simple way with AS.

Amen to that!
However, it’s also potentially more dangerous - and yes, I’ve suffered my own pangs of death with a misplaced forward slash in an rsync command long ago :open_mouth: :smiley:

Interestingly, newer Linuxes even prevent root from havoc. Or that’s at least what I heard.

Thanks, I’ll have look

Edit: It’s working again. Thanke for alerting me to the problem, @DTLow
