Hi!
I'm new to Mac and to AppleScript.
I've made my first program and I have a problem I cannot
solve.
The script takes a list of files. For every file:
- opens the file (with Preview)
- asks the user a new name for the file (with display
dialog)
- renames the file
The problem is that it opens the first file, then displays
the dialog. For the second file the dialog is hidden.
Finder signals that it has a message and I have to click on
Finder to see the dialog window. I would like the dialog in
the front of all the windows.
My question: how can I controll the activation of the
windows. Where can I get the list of open window and
activate the one I like?
Thanks, Miky
Scripting additions work out of the current application. If you're
running a script from Script Editor, that would be Script Editor. If
you've made the script into an application, then it would be that
application.
The way to get around this is to call display dialog from within the
tell block for the application in front of whose window you want it to
appear.
tell app "SomeApp"
activate
make new window
display dialog "a dialog"
end tell
