Bugs or Unexpected Behavior

Describe the bug

After updating to 4.203 my typed apple scripts went missing Run Apple Script (async in background). I should have instead saved as apple script instead of holding the code in BetterTouchTool.

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):

That is weird. I don't see any reason why they would be gone.
Do you maybe have the experimental iCloud or Dropbox sync enabled?

If you need them back, first try to create a backup of this folder: ~/Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool (go there via Finder => Go => Go to Folder, make sure to include the ~). Then send the contents of that folder to andreas@folivora.ai, I should be able to export them from your previous data file.

Yea it is, I was not expecting to spend a long trying to recreate my setup.

I do have one drive but I don't sync that folder.

I had a decent script to open applications and close/quit them.
My apple script knowledge is limited, all I want to do is open an application in the current monitor
if the application is not running activate.I also want to close a window or quit if its the last window.

I sent the zip file, see if you can find something in there. This was a backup from
Time Machine the night before. I don't remember having an ssd connected at that time
but it said that time.

Thanks

I have this code for closing, probably needs some tweaking. Still
working some things out in the opening of applications.


-- Set this variable to true if you want the last Kitty window to quit the application
set quitLastKittyWindow to false

tell application "System Events"
    set frontApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true
end tell

if frontApp is equal to "kitty" then
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "kitty"
            if (count of windows) is equal to 1 then
                if quitLastKittyWindow then
                    click menu item "Quit Kitty" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Kitty" of menu bar 1
                else
                    click menu item "Close OS Window" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Shell" of menu bar 1
                end if
            else
                click menu item "Close OS Window" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Shell" of menu bar 1
            end if
        end tell
    end tell
else
    tell application frontApp
        if (count of windows) is equal to 1 then
            quit
        else
            close front window
        end if
    end tell
end if
