It has been brought up before I guess, but it might bear repetition as it seems the problem has not been remedied in CS4:
On the occasions I try utilizing the advantages Scripts provide over Actions in Illustrator I find the implementation rather weak compared to Photoshop and Indesign.
Many features (as far as I can tell) seem unscriptable yet and Script-invocations in Actions still get deleted on quitting.
This, from what I�ve read, having been a source of complaint for several versions of Illustrator, seems particularly strange to me.
And let�s better not delve into the convenience of Photohop�s Scripting Listener.
I�m not an experienced scripter and many of the things I find lacking may be due to ignorance on my part, but I would still like to know if Adobe tries to improve this situation or if the use of Scripts is deemed the province of a negligible minority anyway?
