Re: AppleScript + Mail (+ Java)


Michael:

Just judging from the behavior I saw when messing around with the Mail.app, the LSBundleIdentifier can have only one value at a time and there can only be one for the type "U:mailto". Basically, it records whatever the user has selected for use as their defauler mailer, not the mail capable apps they have on the machine.

Not sure if that is the answer to your question or not.

I would use Launch Services API to get at this information via JNI and

Before I get into the inevitable JNIDirect stuff I sort of tried to figure out how to parse this out of 
lsregister -dump
but failed to come up with a decent grep that showed what I thought it should. Theres another command besides lsregister I think that I've come across the might be in the archives in my past posts on it. (I might be mis-remembering and that might just be multiple URL references to lsregister)
Now the JNIDirect...
I have some Launch Services JNIDirect to do this. Basically for the functionality as I read this... 

Now, what you could do that would be *REALLY* spiffy would be to create a similar routine that took into account every stand-alone, AppleScriptable mailer for the Mac. 

I set up...

import macnative.jnidirect.ls.LSApp;

public class mailapps {

static { System.loadLibrary("ls"); }
public static void main(String[] args) {
LSApp lsapp = new LSApp();
String[] mailapps = lsapp.listUrlAcceptors("mailto:email@hidden",-1);
for (int i=0;i<mailapps.length;i++)
System.out.println(mailapps[i]);
}
}

(kLSRolesAll = -1)

which returns...

mini-black-box:~/devstuff/ls mjh$ java -cp .:jnidirect.jar:Linker.jar mailapps
/Applications/Mail.app

For the really curious I used JNIDirect to generate a strict JNI version (not JNIDirect no gcc or developer tools dependancy) at...

For the too curious, you can figure out why I only find Mail.app, I do have Eudora, not recently used but I moved it into /Applications to try and get a little more interesting output but it failed to find it. The LSApp code is a little lame in not using Launch Services to determine possible application locations. I was not and still am not sure of a Launch Services API for this. I just search /Applications and the user's /Applications. It should at least search nested directories which should of turned up Eudora.
