This works in Mavericks:
tell application "System Events" to set __frontApp to (file of every process whose frontmost is true) as text
In Yosemite I get this error:
Can't make alias "disk1s3 2:Applications:Script Timer.app" of application "System Events" into type text. Number=-1700
(Script Timer was the frontmost app when the script ran.)
Does anyone have a work around for Yosemite? Is there another way to convert an alias into text?
When the script is done I want to be able to reactivate the previously frontmost application with
tell application __frontApp to activate
so I need the file path as text.
Thanks for any pointers. Googling didn’t seem to help.
Don
(file of every process whose frontmost is true)
returns a list of aliases.
Try to use :
tell application "System Events" to set __frontApp to item 1 of (get file of every process whose frontmost is true) as text
