Thank you Walter Ian Kaye and Emmanuel for the heads up on hiding
application processes:
tell app "System Events"
set visible of process "Mail" to false
end tell
I didn`t realize it was a "System Event" command. Thanks. This works
great. It`s amazing how one clear example like the above can get you
going with your own situation. I wish there was a book etc. that had a
clear example like the above for every command, process etc. involved
with apple script. I`ve got OReilly`s "AppleScript : The Definitive
Guide" but I can`t find any mention anywhere about the "set visible"
command, let alone an example of how to use it. I guess I`ll have to
get some more reference material.
By the way, I`ve got the funniest problem that I`m sure is just
limited to my system. In one of my scripts I use the:
set volume 7 --Apparently "set volume" works for values 1~7
but I can only get the system volume to go up to around 2/3rds the
total volume. If I push the total volume manually to the limit and then
do the "set Volume 7" command again, it drops back down to 2/3rds the
volume. I can change it in the menu bar or the system sound
preferences, but after running the "set volume command" it always drops
back down. Even if I set it for something outrageous like "100" it
still drops down to 2/3rds total volume. This happens on both my 800mhz
dual and iBook. It`s a little thing but it drives me crazy. Can someone
please try "set volume 7" and let me know whether or not it is just my
system?
Thanks in advance
