I want to open an application like TextEdit or Firefox in Mac OS using Python and wait till the applications exits. I can't figure out exact command to open an app and wait. I don't know how to do it in applescript, but you can do this by using the /usr/bin/open UNIX-level OS X command. This snippet will open TextEdit.app and block, waiting for it to quit before continuing: import subprocess subprocess.call( ["/usr/bin/open", "-W", "-n", "-a", "/Applications/TextEdit.app"] ) Look at the open man page ( man open ) and the python subprocess module documentation for more details.

I actually have two questions. How to exclude hidden files like .DS_STORE, Icon when I try to get files in folder ? I've tried " without invisibles " but it seems not working.

I'm working on an application where I need to be able to pass a string variable from Applescript to Objective C . I have figured out how to run Applescript from a method in my Objective C Class, but I need to be able to set an NSString to a string from Applescript . How would I be able to accomplish this? Thanks in advance! Quick example: NSString *theScript = @"set theTimeString to time string of (current date)\n" "return theTimeString"; NSDictionary *errorInfo = nil; NSAppleScript *run = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:theScript]; NSAppleEventDescriptor *theDescriptor = [run

In my Cocoa program, I want to examine what programs are registered to run at startup and modify that list as I feel appropriate. In order to be compatible with Tiger it seems like I need to work through AppleScript. I currently have the following code: NSDictionary* errorDict; NSAppleEventDescriptor* returnDescriptor = NULL; NSString *appleSource = @"tell application \"System Events\"\n\ get every login item\n\ end tell"; NSAppleScript *appleScript = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource: appleSource]; returnDescriptor = [appleScript executeAndReturnError: &errorDict]; If I run that command

I am trying to write an AppleScript that will check if a network drive (in this case, my Time Capsule) is mounted and, if not, mount it. I've figured out how to mount the Time Capsule, but I am at a loss over how to have the script check whether it is mounted first and just exit if it is, or mount it if not. tell application "Finder" mount volume "afp://AirPort%20Time%20Capsule._afpovertcp._tcp.local" end tell Does that the job? set mountedDiskName to "AirPort Time Capsule" set diskIsMounted to false tell application "System Events" to set diskNames to name of every disk if mountedDiskName is
