Given the amount of scripting I put together the past couple of weeks to do photo processing and what I’m currently fiddling with, this was both serendipitous and highly useful–but I suspect Mojave is going to be a pain to deal with for some people, especially those who rely on both inter-app automation and custom plugins.
