Yeah, to me it is... although I still agree that it's not an ideal
solution for a Cocoa application...
By the way, assuming you change char *args[] = { "-a", "Safari",
NULL }; to char *args[] = { "/usr/bin/open", "-a", "Safari",
NULL }; the exec* example actually works while the LaunchServices
example fails with kLSApplicationNotFoundError.
Mail is not a very good IDE ;-)
Nope, not at all :)
After playing around with it a little, I discovered that you need
to actually call it CFSTR("Safari.app") in this case to get it to
work correctly... so like anything else in life, since I'm much
more familiar with the POSIX/BSD API (and since pretty much every
operating system I've ever worked with treats exec* similar) it's a
lot easier *for me* than using LaunchServices.
OK.
In fact, I never use LS with app name but with bundle ID instead.
It's far more reliable.
LSFindApplicationForInfo(kLSUnknownCreator,
CFSTR("com.apple.Safari"), NULL, &app, NULL)
That's actually really useful to know... by the way, I'm not actually
convinced that the OP knows that exec* is gonna terminate his
application...Attachment:
