AppleScript - 高级功能，用于改进步骤/减少代码

我正在尝试减少步骤的数量并提高我的AppleScript的性能，我只是想知道是否有一些我可以使用的常用功能。

这是一个示例脚本......

tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate

    -- Get the iCloud file path to avoid permission error
    set filePath to "Macintosh HD:Users:jm:Library:Mobile Documents:com~apple~QuickTimePlayerX:Documents:movie.wav"

    set f to a reference to file filePath
    -- Get a handle to the initial window
    set windowID to id of first window whose name = "Audio Recording"
    set audio to first document whose name = (get name of first window whose id = windowID)

    tell audio
        stop
    end tell
    -- Get second handle to new titled window
    set windowID2 to id of first window whose name = "Untitled"
    set audio2 to first document whose name = (get name of first window whose id = windowID2)

    tell audio2
        -- Save audio file
        save audio2 in f
    end tell

    -- Get third handle to new titled window
    set windowID3 to id of first window whose name = "movie.wav.qtpxcomposition"
    set audio3 to first document whose name = (get name of first window whose id = windowID3)
    tell audio3
        close audio3 saving no
    end tell


end tell

这是第二个脚本，在开始录制的脚本之后调用。

我可以将你的脚本减少到这个：

    tell application "QuickTime Player"
        -- Get the iCloud file path to avoid permission error
        set filePath to "Macintosh HD:Users:jm:Library:Mobile Documents:com~apple~QuickTimePlayerX:Documents:movie.wav"

        -- Get a handle to the initial window
        stop the document named "Audio Recording"

        -- Get second handle to new titled window
        save the document named "Untitled" in filePath

        -- Get third handle to new titled window
        close the document named "movie.wav.qtpxcomposition" saving no
    end tell

正如我在我的评论中提到，它是多余的检索窗口id由它name，才检索其name从id。您可以document通过您已有的名称引用（如果不存在该名称的文档，则会引发错误;但原始脚本也是如此）。为避免这种情况，您可以先检查它是否存在：

    tell document named "Audio Recording" to if it exists then stop

该activate命令似乎没有必要，因为后面的命令都不需要QuickTime成为焦点。

最后，变量f是多余的。
