Re: Add your app to login items (Mac)
Bonjour Paul, There is a way to do a script that may add or delete your app to Mac Login Items (to auto run your app at Mac startup)? I know that you could read/write the loginwindow.plist, but there is a more simple way? I don't like to adopt and study complex XML libraries only for this target. very quick guess (not tested, but worth a try :-): Maybe one could create an alias to the app in the folder Startupitems? - Bootvolume/Library/Startupitems/ Greetings Paul Claude Regards Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.major-k.de ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Applescript (watch the word wrap so you get the path right):
tell application System Events
get exists login item MyCoolProgram
if result is false then
make new login item at end of login items with
properties {path:/Applications/MyCoolProgram.app, hidden:true,
kind:application, name:MyCoolProgram}
end if
end tell

Re: Add your app to login items (Mac)
Thanks Klaus, I had thought about to this possibility, but I believed there was a way in order to work directly with login items... I must also check if creating an alias (or deleting it) in the startupItems folder needs an authentication. on 13-03-2006 15:40, Klaus Major at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: very quick guess (not tested, but worth a try :-): Maybe one could create an alias to the app in the folder Startupitems? - Bootvolume/Library/Startupitems/ ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The applescript I sent to the list was tested and works fine here...just ran it, checked login items, rebooted and all worked fine. ciao, sims European Rev Conference 2006 www.techietours.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
