textscreen: Simplify AppleScript for fileselect. Since macOS 10.9 it is no longer to "tell an application" in order to display pop-up UI elements like the file select dialogs. Quote: > osascript(1) is now a “UI element” process and can therefore display > its own UI, such as using display dialog; telling another application > such as System Events is no longer necessary. [12365409] As well as simplifying the wrapper this also fixes some issues with the pop-up dialogs where window focus was getting messed up after selecting a file.
