You don't need any fancy droplets or applets. You can just use the
following AppleScript to activate Sage (take this script and save it
as an AppleScript application, then put it in the same directory as
the "sage" UNIX executable):
tell application "Finder"
set myFolder to container of (path to me) as string
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script (POSIX path of myFolder) & "sage"
end tell
If on the other hand you want to start the notebook and don't need the
terminal window in front, you can use the following AppleScript to
open a terminal window in the background and start Sage in notebook
mode:
tell application "Finder"
set myFolder to container of (path to me) as string
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
do script (POSIX path of myFolder) & "sage --notebook"
end tell
What else did you folks have in mind in terms of Mac OS X integration?
