trigger to use updated AppleScript; clear a cache?

[James McLean]

I have a keyboard Trigger set to run an AppleScript (item is a *.scpt file, action is Run).  Weeks ago, I edited that *.scpt file in Script Editor and compiled it.  However, the Quicksilver trigger is still running the script version from before my editing.

I have restarted my Mac, and I threw out ~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver, but the behavior continues.  How can I get Quicksilver to recognize that there is a new version of the script?

Hi,

Have you checked the location of the script you are executing? Open up the trigger in the Triggers pref pane by double clicking it, and checking the path of the script (you can press . to enter text mode and view the full path). It's possible that you're editing the incorrect script.

Short answer, yes, I've checked.

Long answer: I do have two copies of the script, one in ~/Library/Scripts/ and one buried under ~/Documents/, so it is an issue that I'm directly aware of.  Because of that, I've sometimes added a dialog announcing which version is running to the start of the script and I think I have that under control.  However, you have prompted me to upgrade my script (both copies) so that it displays the source path using "path to me" instead of a manually maintained string.

The result: I made a small typo while making the edit (a space missing from a text string).  Right now, both versions of the script file (including the one indicated in the Trigger pref pane) have the typo corrected (as viewed in ScriptEditor), but when I actually run the Trigger, I see the message that still includes the typo.

It's occurred to me that the caching may be happening in macOS rather than in Quicksilver.  But that doesn't get me closer to a solution.
