Philip,
When I tried your script with a file named VideoCast-10.m4v on the
desktop,
I get the following error:
System Events got an error: Can't make default application of disk item
"OSX:Users:jimbrandt:Desktop:VideoCast-10.m4v" into type reference.
I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on a PowerMac Dual 450 G4
is the default application property a Leopard thing?
Jim
The complete script:
set mov to ((path to desktop folder as text) & "VideoCast-10.m4v")
set default_app to (path to application "QuickTime Player") as text
tell application "System Events"
set default application of disk item mov to default_app
-- open mov
end tell
