At 06:45p -0600 09/18/2003, Robert Poland didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
Am I the only one to have this problem? If not, surely someone knows
how to fix it?
tell application "Finder" to get creator type of process (choose application)
-->
Brings up a list of every application that was ever on the computer,
including a lot of OS 9 and applescript applications, whether they
still exist or not. Selecting one of them gets an error "Finder got
an error: A descriptor type mismatch occurred.". this occurs with
applications that are running or not running.
Perhaps your email is not working? You already received replies when
you asked this question before. Are you reading this message now?
ALSO
Is there a way to update the list to something that is current?
Well how about this:
tell app "System Events"
set app_list to name of every process whose visible is true
end tell
set app_name to choose from list app_list
if class of app_name is not boolean then
set app_name to item 1 of app_name
tell app "System Events" to creator type of process app_name
end if
-boo
