There are no applications I know of that are "attachable" to that extent
that you can set a script to run automatically on launch. You could have a
stay-open applet with an idle handler running every 5 seconds check System
Events to see if process "Final Cut Pro" exists and if so show the dialog
then turn "dialog" mode off until FCP disappears again, and set this applet
as a Startup file in System Preferences/Accounts/. But that's sort of tacky.
An alternative would be to get "PreFab UI Actions" from PreFab (not cheap)
<www.prefab.com/uiactions>, which is designed to do just that. Try it in
demo mode first to make sure it works with FCP.
