[OS X TeX] TexShop macro problems on Mojave

["M. Tamer Özsu"]

Thank you Herb. No, I wasn’t asked — it just either went silent or gave me this error. There is no TeXShop.app under Automation and there doesn’t seem to be any way to add it.

TeXShop.app should appear there with one or more checked items  under it (e.g., System Events.app and/or Finder). Does TeXShop.app appear there? If so, are there items under it that have check boxes? If so, are they checked?
