I have a program that scans CD's/DVD's/anything mountable.
Unfortunately the default settings for OSX will launch iTunes, if a
music CD is mounted, launch iDVD, if a movie DVD is mounted and
launch iPhoto, if a photo CD or memory card is mounted. While my
program is able to scan each disc without a problem those damn iApps
bully their way to the top and knocks my program to the back. This
'Normal' behavior is undesirable only when running my program.
Is there a way to programmatically override this function in the OS
or is there some secret keyboard thingie or something involving
chicken bones and a chant, I'll take anything to stop those damn apps
from launching...
And before you quick drawers hit the reply button... I already now
about the preference settings to disable this. I'm looking for a temp
workaround so the user doesn't have to change their preferences just
to run my program. Setting and resetting preferences, just to use an
app is not user friendly. Remember when everything was user friendly
or strove to be user friendly? Now... not so much.
Lastly is there a way to 'see' the settings in the preferences? If I
can't override I'd like to be able to warn the user somehow.
