At 11:51a -0700 07/08/2004, Paul Berkowitz didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
How about telling Systems Events to set visible of the process of the name
of the app to false? You could try making it a stay-open app and see if
cronntab calling a stay-open application actually calls an 'on reopen'
handler (which in turn can call the same handler as 'on run' does) for a
stay-open that's already open.
I don't see how it could...
If so, it would really minimize the time the app comes to the front
to a fraction of an instant - 'set visible to false' could be the
first command.
In my ClipNamer applet, I do that -- it makes its visible get set to false.
Of course hidden and background are not the same, but in this case
Gnarlie just doesn't want it frontmost and that's common to those two
different things. :)
I'm not sure whether 'set visible to false' actually restores the
next process to the front but I think it may.
It should.
