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.
This seems to happen to a lot of people, not just me. I have a vanilla
installation of Jaguar, and when I double-click on a QuickTime movie,
the correct QuickTime player opens.
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!
