Re: AppleScript – Toggle Between 2 Magnification Levels

[Lawrence San]

Hi Chris,

Is "magnification" a property newly added to recent versions of BBEdit? I'm
still running version 9.6.3 and I suspect that's the case because I can't
find it in the program's AS Dictionary, but I'm not sure  When I paste
your script into AppleScript Editor and try to either Compile or Run, I get
an error. In the line:

*if* display magnification = defaultMagLevel *then*

...it highlights the word "magnification" and pops up a sheet that says:

   *Syntax Error*
   Expected "then", etc. but found identifier.

Is this just because I'm still walking around in ancient times, or is there
something I don't understand here?

Thanks much,
Lawrence

If by ‘newly added’ you mean 10.5, then yes :]
