Alternative startup for application


  • Subject: Alternative startup for application
  • From: Gideon King <email@hidden>

Hi,

I would like to have an application I am working on to be able to start up in the normal way from the finder, but also have an alternative startup that users can access in some way, where I will display a panel that most users wouldn't normally want to see.

Issues I am having with this are:

1. I'm not sure what keyboard or mouse options could be used for this, since all the character keys change the selection in Finder, and all the normal modifier keys are used for special functions. So first question is how I can differentiate this special mode open from a normal open?

2. If the application is started up in this special way, how would I be able to detect it, seeing as there is no current event to query?

...or is there some other mechanism I could be using instead?

Thanks

Gideon
