I guess I'm missing something. Is there a way to get Applescript to modify this before launching an app?
The goal here is that under 10.6 sometimes a particular app (in this case Photoshop) needs to launch in 32 bit mode and at other times in 64 depending on which plugins to Photoshop the user wants to have available.
In the ideal case you would be able to create finder aliases and change the mode of the alias, but this doesn't seem possible with 10.6.
Second best would be a launchable applescript with some (pseudo) code like:
tell application "finder" to launch application "Photoshop" with mode processorbits of "32"
Or (again pseudo applescript):
tell application "finder"
set the processorbits of application "Photosohop" to "32"
launch application "Photoshop"
end tell
So I'm guessing there's no good way to do it being that there is no "processorbits" attribute changeable by ascript on the fly?
It sounds like even in applescript can change the plist (I'm not sure from the previous replies) that it may not even "take" immediately as far as the finder is concerned?
