Re: Running straight through, like a normal Applescript

You can use the Application's Event Handlers (as to specify in Interface Builder's Info Pane)

e.g.
- an "will finish launching" event handler
- an "launched" event handler
- an "will quit" event handler

In the "will finish launching" event handler you register and read your defaults.
In the "launched" event handler you specify all the actions you want to do and at the end use:
quit me
Then you can write the needed defaults in the "will quit" event handler

Hope this helps,
Jasper.

I want to write an application that behaves like a normal Applescript: running straight through from beginning to end (possibly with dialog boxes along the way) and then quitting when done. (I can't just use an Applescript, because I need user defaults and pretty complicated dialog boxes and a few other advanced features that are available only in AppleScript Studio apps.)

What's the best way to do this?

I tried just running the script from main(), but the app spewed errors whenever I tried anything more than the usual AppleScript stuff. (For example, when I tried to use "user defaults".) I presume there's some initialization that happens when I call NSApplicationMain() that I'm not getting. I'm also concerned that without an event loop, my dialogs might not work correctly (I haven't tried throwing up a dialog box from the nib yet). So should I call NSApplicationMain()? Then how do I get run-straight-though-and-quit behavior?
