Converting 32-bit to 64-bit - AppleScripts

$

For those of us fretting about our favorite 32-bit AppleScripts (including the one from Alf), here's how to convert them to 64-bit:
  • Open AppleScript in Script Editor
  • File > Export > File Format: Application > Save
    OR
    File > Duplicate > Save > File Format: Application
  • Confirm by checking Get Info (Command-I). If there is an option to “Open in 32-bit mode”, that means the AppleScript has been successfully converted to 64-bit.

If the above fails, look for odd characters in the AppleScript name such as "/". Delete the problematic character. You can rename the AppleScript after it's converted to 64-bit.

To add custom icon:
  • Open Get Info window for both old 32-bit and new 64-bit AppleScripts.
  • Click on the desired icon in the upper left corner of the 32-bit app and copy.
  • Click on the generic icon in the upper left corner of the 64-bit app and paste.

Note: This works for macOS High Sierra. It should also work with Mojave. Earlier versions may work differently or not work at all.

Finally, big :thanks: to @pdurrant for guidance!
