Could anyone shed some light on a problem I have been having with a
feature of the scriptable finder?
I've written a script where an app is started by an applescript to
perform some time consumming activity
and then I send it the following; (minus the comment operators of
course)
--tell application "Finder"
--set visible of process "Some Running Application" of application
"Finder" to false
--end tell
The program takes up alot of screen real-estate and I just don't want it
in my way.
The problem is that this works fine when the script is run from within
script editor but fails when I save it as a classic applet.
The error generated is "can't set visible of process "Some Ru... etc."
Is this feature unsupported in compiled scripts or what?
Does starting an app with a script change its finder relationship?
thanks
