I'm trying to start address book, but have it be hidden. By that I mean I
want it to run, but not show up. Kind of like when you put a application in
your Login Items and check the "hide on startup" checkbox.
If you run this, it will only appear for a fraction of a second
behind the current application. Whethehr you see the flicker or not
will depend on what windows you have in the way.
tell app "Address Book" to launch
tell app "Finder" to set visible of process "Address Book" to false
At first sight, I would name that a bug of "Address Book". When I run:
---------------------
tell app "iCab" to launch
---------------------
or
---------------------
tell app "Smile" to launch
---------------------
the app does not show up at all.
Like when, if my memories serve me right, the following used to work:
---------------------
tell app "Finder" to open alias theAppPath with properties {visible:false}
---------------------
