However it sounds like a callback is what is needed.
Perhaps the enhancement request should be for making
iTunes attachable. I think that's the correct term.
Yep, this is they way to go. Hopefully iTunes 4.3 or 4.5 or 5.0 or
whatever the next version is will have this addition.
I hope so, too, but I will be pleasantly shocked if it does. Have you
heard any suggestion this might happen? Given its potential usefulness,
distressingly few applications support embeddability[1]. Let's see,
from Apple we've got:
Finder
Mail
Digital Hub Scripting (not too terribly useful)
Any others?
From third parties:
AIM
Filemaker Pro (I assume, I've never used it)
BBEdit (I think, sort of--you can add scripts to other menus beside a
single script menu at least, right?)
Smile
Frontier
What others?
Even in proportion to just the subset of applications that are
scriptable, embeddability is rare. I'd love to see a lot more: Your web
browser could trigger a script when it opens a new link, OmniOutliner
could fire a script when you quit editing a row, or practically any
application could run a script on start up; really, with a little
imagination, the possibilities are limitless.
