I am trying to automate what sounds like a simple thing, unless you have never done it before (on a Mac at least).
I have an application that allows multiple instances to be launched using terminal.
the terminal is used to create stdout (so I am told), which allows more than one instance, each instance must be started from a new terminal window.
what I would like to do is have a ‘shortcut’ or alias of some type that presents its self as a desktop object that I just click on and it starts that instance running.
Ok Norman, that was all new to me, never looked at apple script before.
after a lot of messing about I eventually got it working and now have a nice launch able
object to click, next is to make an ICNS file to give the image a meaning.
this is what I ended up with, the tricky part was having to actually add the ‘–args’ part rather than just the argument its self.
do shell script “open -n -a /Applications/jtdx.app/Contents/MacOS/jtdx --args --rig-name=hf”
