Ronald Hofman kindly suggested the following:
set DefaultApp to (word -6 of (do shell script "defaults read
com.apple.Preview"))
Unfortunately, OMM it errors out with the following message: ³sh:
line 2:
com.apple.Preview: command not found²
Any ideas ?
Just make sure jou put the whole line Ronald suggest in 1 (one) line.
Looks like somewhere along the route from what Ronald typed to what
you read the one-liner got wrapped into 2 lines. Hence the error
message.
BTW, I tried the one line (which then compiles and runs) however it
does not return the default app with the "preferences" which are on
my machine as being the 6th word from the end of that entry ....
YMMF :-> so it may work as advertised on your machine (??)
Kind regards,
Bart-Jan. _______________________________________________
