When using “activate” in an applet, I’m getting unreliable results under 10.10.1. I’m using the script below to test, which should display the name of each application which was activated…

Hey Ray,

Activate has been rather iffy pre-Yosemite for some while, but I'm fuzzy on exactly how long.

This works reliably for me on Mavericks.

----------------------------------------------

tell application "TextEdit"

launch

activate

set curName to path to frontmost application

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {".", ":"}

set _app to text item -3 of (curName as text)

end tell

----------------------------------------------

I'd be interested to know if it works on Yosemite.

Best Regards,

Chris
