I have a very simple script that tells QuickTime player to open a movie:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open location [something]
end tell
For some reason, on Mac OS X, this causes the *classic* version of
QuickTime Player to launch, not the Mac OS X version (which lives in
its standard place in the /Applications folder). If the Mac OS X
version of the program is running, then it properly opens the movie.
Can anybody think of a fix to this, or a workaround? I don't want
to assume that QuickTime player lives in the /Applications folder,
but I don't want classic to launch!
Get QTPlayer's path from Finder (this returns the OSX path in my
experience) and provide the full path to "tell application" (this
works in my experience).
