MacRuby ScriptingBridge loading speed

Is there a faster way to load scripting bridge applications from MacRuby?

When I make the SBApplication object for Adobe InDesign it takes more than 10 seconds to load. Here's the code I've been using:

framework 'ScriptingBridge'

indesign = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier("com.adobe.InDesign")

puts indesign

Of course the generated header file is huge for InDesign... Is there a way to force the use of a support file?

Solution

  • The large load time when using ScriptingBridge is a documented issue. An alternative is macruby-appscript.
