This has got to be a FAQ, but I can't figure it out.
I have discovered that this construct:
tell application "Finder"
set foo to a reference to file "mumble" of startup disk
end tell
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open foo
end tell
actually doesn't tell QuickTime Player anything. It's been working
for me only because the files I've been opening have been QT Player
files. If I try to open, e.g., a SoundJam mp3 file, the file opens in
SoundJam.
If I drop the file on QT Player, it opens in QT Player.
Given a file reference, how do I force it to open in QuickTime Player?
TIA for any help.
