In the newly released 4.5.3 update, Script Debugger pastes object specifiers as a series of nested tell blocks instead of as one long object reference. Users can turn this behavior on and off via a new setting in the Editing preferences panel. Script Debugger 4.5.3 also features an improved Balance command and the auto-closing of AppleScript blocks.

To correct a terminology conflict that caused AppleScript to rewrite "file spec" as "file" after compiles, Script Debugger 4.5.3 renames the "file spec" document as "file." Other fixes tackle a problem where references to "path" outside a tell block produced incorrect four-character codes and a hanging bug when exploring the InDesign dictionary.

The 4.5.3 update is free to Script Debugger 4.5 users. The AppleScript editor costs $199, with upgrades from version 4.0 available for $49.--
