Thanks largely to folks over on the AppleScript users list, the rough script I
was providing yesterday has been significantly improved. Here’s the latest
version.
Credits go to Al Varnell and Yvan Koenig for suggestions and rewriting of my
earlier drafts.
Added: apps in /Applications subfolders
Added: Pref Panes that use Sparkle
Added: anything with .app extension outside of /Applications.
Added: counter showing number of vulnerable files found
Added: ability to view the compete list in TextExit, allowing saving and, more
importantly, viewing the whole list, which could be truncated in the dialog box.
