For those of us fretting about our favorite 32-bit AppleScripts (including the one from Alf), here's how to convert them to 64-bit:
- Open AppleScript in Script Editor
- File > Export > File Format: Application > Save
OR
File > Duplicate > Save > File Format: Application
- Confirm by checking Get Info (Command-I). If there is an option to “Open in 32-bit mode”, that means the AppleScript has been successfully converted to 64-bit.
If the above fails, look for odd characters in the AppleScript name such as "/". Delete the problematic character. You can rename the AppleScript after it's converted to 64-bit.
To add custom icon:
- Open Get Info window for both old 32-bit and new 64-bit AppleScripts.
- Click on the desired icon in the upper left corner of the 32-bit app and copy.
- Click on the generic icon in the upper left corner of the 64-bit app and paste.
Note: This works for macOS High Sierra. It should also work with Mojave. Earlier versions may work differently or not work at all.
Finally, big
