Re: Script server as faceless background application?

NSUIElement is the older, now-deprecated version of LSUIElement. They both have the same effect, though.

I wasn't aware of this, but I will change it in some future version. As you say it doesn't seem to make any difference at the moment.

If the application is truly background-only, however, then you actually want LSBGOnly. LSUIElement is for applications that don't show up in the dock and don't have a menu bar but *do* have user interface -- a floating window, for example. The Dock is one example; Script Runner is another.

This I was aware of, but decided to go for the UI element anyway. Just incase the script tried to open a window or display a dialog or something, I wanted it to be able to.

Perhaps a future version should let you specify how you want the flags set...

Thanks!
James
