Thanks Yvan,

So far, it works well.

set numberOfWindows to count window
open droppedItem as alias
repeat 50 times
if (count window) > numberOfWindows then exit repeat
delay 0.1
end repeat

Hi,

Currently I'm using the following. Is there a way to make the delay more appropriate to the time it takes for a picture to load? 

A repeat while for example.

-- Script
tell application "GraphicConverter"
activate
open the droppedItem as alias
delay 1 -- need time
…
-- End Script

TIA,

I use a slightly different version :

set droppedItem to "" & (path to desktop) & "4test.txt"
tell application "TextEdit"
set nbw to count windows
open droppedItem --as alias -- as alias isn’t required by TextEdit
repeat 50 times
if (count windows) > nbw then exit repeat
delay 0.1
end repeat
if (count windows) = nbw then error "The app was unable to open :" & return & droppedItem
end tell
