Is there any way (via applescript) to detected the launch of a file? I want
an applescript to do something only if a certain file type is launched.

Hi Phil,

In the future, it would help avoid confusion if you would use the correct
terminology. You don't "launch" files, you "open" them. Also, you should
refer to applications as "applications" or "application files", not "files".

"Launching" is NOT an uncommon term for starting an application--but I agree it is unclear if Phil want's to monitor an application or a specific file type. (I suspect the latter).
