Howdy,
I honestly have no idea how to do what you want, but a notion occurred
to me, and I thought I'd toss it out there. What about obfuscating your
media files within a virtual file system? I doubt OS X would bother
trying to sort through that to figure out if there was anything playable
there. Just a thought.
Later,
Fargo

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.
