That’s pretty awkward! The preferred way to launch an app is to use the NSWorkspace methods, or LaunchServices (a lower-level procedural API that gives you more options.) > The idea is to launch the application with different arguments so that it can > do different > stuff every time.

LaunchServices supports sending an arbitrary/custom AppleEvent to an app while launching it. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
