Title: Is there a way to keep a floating window
open?
I'd like to display some text that is updated occasionally by an
AppleScript, in a floating window that hangs around until I close it.
My present workaround is to use
display dialog "Mail last fetched at: "
& return & lasttime
giving up after
4
to display the info briefly, but that's not really
satisfactory.
I'm running the script in Eudora, and Eudora waits for the script
to exit before it continues checking the mail. If I could make it run
in a separate thread I could let it display longer without holding up
progress, but I don't know if it's possible to make that happen.
Running the script in a script editor environment acts more the
way I'd like, i.e. separate thread/task, but is awkward in other
ways.
There used to be an OSAX or something that would maintain a
floating window, but I haven't found one that works in OS X.
Any suggestions?
