I'm developing a screensaver. I want to achieve the following: then the
user hits the key 's', stop the screensaver and open a program.
Handling the key stroke is done, and I'm launching the program as:
(the following code search runningApplications to see if the app is already
running, if not it's open with launchApplicationAtURL. Finally I take it to
foreground with activateWithOptions)
var app: NSRunningApplication?
for a in NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace().*runningApplications*
as! [NSRunningApplication] {
if a.localizedName!.isEqual("App Name") {
app = a
break
}
}
if app == nil {
app =
NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace().*launchApplicationAtURL*(NSURL(fileURLWithPath:
UsualApplicationPath)!, options: NSWorkspaceLaunchOptions.Default,
configuration: [:], error: nil)!
}
var foreground = false
while !foreground {
foreground = app!.*activateWithOptions*
(NSApplicationActivationOptions.ActivateIgnoringOtherApps)
}
After that i raise the event that finish the screensaver.
The problem is that sometimes, if there is a Finder window open, my app
ends at the bottom of it (!) Anybody knows why can this be happening?
