The following script launches 2 applications if double clicked from the
finder: (3 including ScriptEditor)
tell application "Adobe. Photoshop. 5.0.2"
activate
end tell
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.1"
activate
end tell
They also launch when the script is opened via the "open" command in
ScriptEditor. Subsequent opening of the file does not re-launch the
application.
The both launch incorrectly. Quark because of my Xtension wonks out when
launched this way (ScriptMasterXT ironically enough) and Photoshop because
of a low memory condition because of Quark being launched. Ok, so I only
have 100 mb of memory.
I suspect this of being a 'feature' script editor. Do other editors have
this problem? I would like to be able to open scripts with my editor without
necessarily launching the applications invoked by the script. Just to read
my script, for example.
