[Ham-Mac] [linuxham] Log to Aether Script

[Alan Hawrylyshen]

Wow - talk about an old thread - I am just seeing this now. 
I suspect I am the author of the script that doesn’t work in these cases.
I’m no fan of Apple Script either; but I’ll see if there is a good reason for why your use-case fails. It would hopefully be easy to fix.

Cheers,
Alan

However, the python script DOES work with this software combination, with the below discussed limitations, if installed from scratch. Hence there is obviously some corruption somewhere in my current system. Sadly I was never able to get the Applescript script to ever function.

It would never have occurred to me that this was why the script was failing in a new installation. I only found this difficulty after a lot of testing.
