aquaui's Issues

Telling and titles for dialog

tell application "Brave Browser" to display dialog "Some Message from Brave" with title "A title"

This will show a dialog with a title at the top, and move focus to Brave Browser.

If you tell application then display an alert, it will show Brave's icon.

But showing a notification after tell will not change the notification's icon, unfortunately.

Change the way an applescript is generated

Currently, an applescript is generated as a string. Nothing too complex to it. The problem is that it's easy to miss out a space here or there

self.applescript = f"display dialog {quotify(text)} "
# Notice the space at the end

It may be better to do something like

self.applescript = ["display dialog", quotify(text)]

...

# Adding title
self.applescript.extend(["with title", quotify(title)])

Then using a loop, create the applescript and appropriately put spaces

Escaping double quotes

Single quotes work fine, but double quotes don't.

All double quotes are escaped:

script = script.replace('"', '\\"')

and this causes issues when there are double quotes in the string.

from aquaui import Alert, Buttons

# Works
Alert("How're you?").show()

# Doesn't work
Alert('How"re you?').show()
Alert('How\\"re you?').show()
