Hi,

great! Thanks, Nathan. I will try your solution and am very curious how you solved that problem.

NSAppleScript can only be used in the main thread because it shares a AppleScript ComponentInstance, you need to create you own ComponentInstance and that can not be done with NSAppleScript, you can with my NDAppleScriptObject, which you can get at http:// homepage.mac.com/nathan_day/

Hi,

I just read in the "Multithreading Programing Topics" that NSAppleScript should only be used from the main thread.

My "application" is running as a plug-in in iTunes and I want to extend the song information using NSAppleScript.
As the plug-in is not running in the main thread I could never run my AppleScript from the main thread and as NSAppleScript is slow I want to create a separate thread for the AppleScript calls.


What kind of problems can I expect from running AppleScript from another thread (and accessing the same application with it)?
How can I avoid these problems?
