AppleScript: Enhanced Application Object Model
I still don’t know why my on idle script that updated the “currently playing” item on my blog doesn’t work in Leopard, but this new bit is quite useful for just about anything you want to do with AppleScript:
tell application "iTunes"
−− won’t launch iTunes if it isn’t running
if it is running then
pause
end if
end tell
And the variant I find more intuitive:
if application "iTunes" is running then
tell application "iTunes"
pause
end tell
end if
P.S. Hmm, for some reason the “Stay Open” bit you must set when saving the on idle application had gotten lost at some point.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
