Apple Script Studio "Visibility"
Hello,
I am trying to get the status of image views (if they are visible or now) and I tried several different methods -- none seem to work. For example
if visible of image view "fnamei" is true and visible of image view "lmanei" is true and visible of image view "agei" is true then
set visible of button "done" to true
end if
(*Or Maybe*)
if "fnamei" and "lnamei" and "age1" then
set visible of button "done" to true
end if
Any other suggestions?
Solution found.

Hello,
Is there a way of having a text box in applescript studio but when you type the correct password, you have more buttons on your window?
Thanks!Sample code:
on action theObject
tell window 1
if (((name of theObject) is "textfield01") and (((contents of text field "textfield01") is equal to "dev_sleidy"))) then
set (enabled of (button "button01")) to true
set (enabled of (button "button02")) to true
end if
end tell
end action
... based on a window with a text field named 'textfield01' and two buttons (named 'button01' and 'button02'); and, the text field set to 'NSSecureTextFiled' via 'Interface Builder's 'Inspector's (popup menu set to 'Custom Class's) panel.

Selecting Different Printer With Apple Script.
Hi,
I am currently in the process of making a script to be able to print off labels without the need of much user input (read from a document or e-mail) and I want to be able to set the printer when it goes to the print screen.
this is the final apple script step in the application cmd+p brings up the 1st print menu the return takes it to the second print menu cmd+v pastes predifind by the user the ammount of copys they want
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Labels & Addresses"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "p" using command down
delay 1
keystroke return
delay 1
keystroke "v" using command down
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Labels & Addresses"
click (menu item whose description is "Printer")
click (menu item "Zebra Technologies ZTC GK420t" whose description is "Printer")
end tell
end tell
return input
end tell
end tell
end run
now there is chance to change the printer selection twice once in the 1st print screen and once in the 2nd print screen the only problem is im not sure how to apple script to select the right printer from the drop down menu, I got the code from a forum but I think it was old code as when I tested it it was returning errors so I modified it a bit and now it just struggles finding the menu item with description of printer.
Does anyone know what I would have to use for it to select the right printer? (The Zebra Technologies ZTC GK420t)
Help would be greatly appricited!
Thanks,
Bruce
P.S. sorry the code is a bit messy!Im NOT sure if you have just made this a little over complicated… This works just fine for me. Tested with about a dozen psd layers…
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell active document
tell rectangle 1
tell graphic 1
tell graphic layer options
set GLC to count of graphic layers
repeat with i from 1 to GLC
if name of graphic layer i ≠ "Blue" then
set current visibility of graphic layer i to false
else
set current visibility of graphic layer i to true
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
This variant also works as I would have expected too… Retaining visibility from a list…
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell active document
tell rectangle 1
tell graphic 1
tell graphic layer options
set On_List to {"Red", "Aqua", "Orange"}
set GLC to count of graphic layers
repeat with i from 1 to GLC
if name of graphic layer i is not in On_List then
set current visibility of graphic layer i to false
else
set current visibility of graphic layer i to true
end if
end repeat

Removing BCC with Apple Script when automatically BCC myself is set in pref
I have "Automatically Bcc myself" set in the Mail Composing preferences, which I like because I get a copy of email that I send. I also have an apple script that forwards messages to an email address. When I used this apple script on Tiger, the BCC option was never added (it might have been a bug with Mail in Tiger); however, now on Leopard, the BCC option is always added when I used the apple script.
I've tried setting the BCC field to Null and Blank, but that doesn't seem to work. I suspect that the field is set upon send or the "make new" directive. Does anyone know a way to tell Mail to not Bcc automatically in an Apple Script?
Here is the forward apple script program:
(* Cf. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060219014940761 *)
(* RS 31st July 2006 *)
set theAuthority to "person AT here"
tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to the selection
repeat with thisMessage in theMessages
set newMessage to make new outgoing message at end of outgoing messages
tell newMessage
set visible to true (* comment out whole line to stop 'blinking' windows *)
set content to thisMessage's source
set subject to "Fwd: " & thisMessage's subject
set bcc to null (* my attempt to set bcc to null or blank *)
make new to recipient with properties {address:theAuthority}
end tell
send newMessage
set read status of thisMessage to true
set was forwarded of thisMessage to true
set junk mail status of thisMessage to true
end repeat
end tellThanks for that reply!
After more google searching, I found this on http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040425063255443
One of the responses said that you can add the lines:
delete bcc recipients
delete cc recipients
"in that order" to the new message tell and get rid of the recipients. I had tried the delete before, but I thought I had to get the recipients before I deleted them. I'm not a very good apple script person. Here is my final script
(* Cf. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060219014940761 *)
(* RS 31st July 2006 *)
set theAuthority to "email address here"
(* or your personal Knujon address *)
tell application "Mail"
set theMessages to the selection
repeat with thisMessage in theMessages
set newMessage to make new outgoing message at end of outgoing messages
tell newMessage
set visible to false (* comment out whole line to stop 'blinking' windows *)
set content to thisMessage's source
set subject to "Fwd: " & thisMessage's subject
make new to recipient with properties {address:theAuthority}
delete bcc recipients
delete cc recipients
end tell
send newMessage
set read status of thisMessage to true
set was forwarded of thisMessage to true
set junk mail status of thisMessage to true

I realize English is probably not your first language, but you are not really making sense. Perhaps you could use more words and write in more detail.
It seems you already have your script in AppleScript. Why do you need to convert it to JavaScript?
It's going to be inconvenient at best and probably not worth anyone's time.
Just use the AppleScript. -

then run

get properties of command bar control "About" of command bar "CPS"

this returns the properties of this button...
something like:
{class:command bar button, begin group:false, built in:true, name:"About", description text:"", enabled:true, height:22, help context ID: 0, help file:"", id:2520, entry_index:1, left position:674, parameter:"", priority:3, tag:"", tooltip text:"&About", top:324, control type:control button, visible:true, width:28, button face is default:false, face id:23, button state:button state up, button style:button automatic}
If the button uses a build in command you will get to know the id of this command...
e.g. the ID is 23 (open file)
make new command bar control at command bar ¬
"CPS" with properties {id:23}
and this would create such a new button...
But I am not sure who to get a list of all action ids... -
I have several very old Apple scripts in iTiunes that no longer work. where are they located and can I delete them?
Thanks
DannyI use an older iTunes but the first item in my Applescripts menu is "Open Scripts folder". If you don't have this you may need to go to your /users/put your username here/Library/iTunes/Scripts folder. However, I believe Apple decided to make this invisible for users of newer systems so you will have to do it through the Go Menu in Finder, or read up on the web on how to make your Library folder visible.

Apple Script to make Pages open in a user-selected screen position
This is a follow-up to a response/script made previously by Yvan KOENIG that enables Pages to open a Pages template in a user-selected "left" position.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9100331#9100331
This works great for me, but I'd like to take this one step further, if possible. I'm naïve when it comes to Apple Scripts
Currently, if I use the script, it opens up in 100% 'fit-width' view as follows:
http://trials.sent.com/pages/100.png
What I'd like it to do is to open up in 125% 'fit-width' view as follows:
http://trials.sent.com/pages/125.png
I'd like to therefore ask if it's possible to somehow enable this in the script above.I looked at the English version.
Let me say you that you are a funny guy.
Set width and set "Fit Width" are incompatible commands.
On my 1920 x 1200 screen, if I set scale to 125%, Fit Width is disabled.
If I check "Fit width", the size remains unchanged but is no longer selected.
On a smaller display, "Fit Width" will set the page in the "100%" mode.
My guess is that it's what you get.
As I am a good guy,
I add some instructions in the code.
Now you may activate several settings to fit your needs (when they are technically compatibles).

I need to Apple Script so mail closes at login and doesn't stay open. I lost it somehow. Anyone have it?
To hide Mail when it is open:
tell application "System Events"
set visible of process "Mail" to false
end tell
To quit Mail:
tell application "Mail"
quit
end tell
A delay statement, such as 'delay 2', can be placed at the beginning of each script if the event is being triggered too fast. In any case, put the script text into the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder, save it as an application, and add the script to the list of login items for your account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

Hiding Folders via Apple Script
Good evening,
When i installed Leopard a got up a little Issue: When i look in my harddrive i can see the the folder "var,usr,etc" ... in the normal Finder Window.
Well i thought it would be some kind of a bug so i helped myself and used a little apple script i allreade used in Tiger to hide all these annoying folders like "Microsoft Users Data etc." You know what i mean
My Script does this:
+set myfile to choose file+
+tell application "System Events" to set visible of myfile to false+
+tell application "Finder" to update myfile+
I should be able to pick a file (have done the same for folders, too) and hide it from the normal Finder window. Well it works fine on causaul folder and data.
But on these UNIX Folder i mentoined it wont work. My Question: How can i get this to work? (I thought of missing admin priviledges?)Try the instructions in this article.

I am trying to make an apple script that will detect when an application (minecraft,cod or other online downloaded software/games) is open and then bring up a dialog that wont go away so that only I.T. can remove it. I also want it to send an email to a certain adress saying that so and so has been playing games
It's a school project that im working on, we have to figure out a way (through applescript) to help students be more productive, everyone else has no experience with apple script but me. I managed to create this in a couple of minutes but there is a couple glitches and problems i cant solve.
the problems include
it doesn't work with non-appstore apps ie. apps downloaded for the internet
i want it to be able to detect numerous programs
it doesn't close the program and/or bring the window/dialog to the top.
I have used safari as an example as to where a list of "illeagle apps" should be.
here's the script:
tell (get system info)
set longName to long user name
set shortName to short user name
end tell
if appIsRunning("Safari") then
tell application "Mail"
set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"[" & longName & "] ,Gaming Alert", content:"[" & longName & "] has been gaming, he is to report to I.T. by the end of the day", visible:true}
tell theNewMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"[email protected]"}
send
end tell
end tell
end if
end
repeat
if appIsRunning("safari") then
display dialog "Gaming is not allowed, Your log of your computer programs running has been emailed to the I.T. department. Please visit the I.T. department immedietly to remove this message" buttons {"Report To I.T."} default button 1 cancel button 1 with title "Gaming Alert" with icon stop
end if
end repeat
if appIsRunning("safari") then
tell application finder
quit appIsRunning("safari")
end tell
end if
on appIsRunning(appName)
tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains appName
end appIsRunning
end
Any help is greatly appriciated
Thanks!I really do not appreciate your negativity towards this assignment.
firstly i am not trying to "cheat" the system by asking for help, our teacher encourges us to go online , reserch and go onto forums such as these.
Secoundly , I dont need you to criticize my idea's by telling me that i am a "taddle tale" or whatever
Thirdly , it's called updating over wifi. Thats how I intend on updating the blacklist to new games
Finally it will encourage student productivity, as without games there will be no distractions. Internet games and such are blocked and I plan to keep my identity, as the creator of the script , a secret
And also, here's a bit of criticism maybe you would be a better educationalist yourself if you actually encouraged a project.
Ps. Are you familiar with google science fair... if not LOOK IT UP!
im going i have talked viney kumar and are most likley teaming up to put this project in action, we go to the same school. He thinks it is a good idea and if YOU ever had any idea's at all that aren't criticism maybe you would have at least one atom that is up to his standard of innovation.bye the way, i am only 14.What were you trying to do when YOU were 14...

Sending email using apple script...
I have created a watch folder using apple script that when a file is dropped on it, it automatically opens, formats, and sends out a custom email.
What I don't understand is, how can I include multiple variables in the "content" section (also known as the body section of the email)? I want to put custom type in the content section that says "There is a file awaiting your review." I also would like to choose an email signature from my mail program to use. Third, I would like to include the name of the file that is being sent....
I found that by doing {content:iteminfo} I could get the file name...If I do {content:"There is a file awaiting your review."} I could get the custom type I wanted....
BUT, I can't figure out how to get BOTH of them together in ADDITION to adding a custom email signature...
I know there are some really smart people out there...Any tips?I can't figure out how to get BOTH of them together
This is just standard AppleScript text concatenation with the &:
... {content: "There is a file awaiting your review: " & iteminfo}
Here you can see I'm concatenating a literal string (enclosed in quotes) and a variable. You can extend this ad infinitum.
As for the signature:
tell theMessage to set message signature to signature "My Sig"
(which assumes you have a signature named 'My Sig'. Adjust as necessary. -
Hi I am new to apple script; I was using Automator but it became too dumb to it's surroundings after a while. Can you please tell me why these don't do what I think they should; Safari has 2 windows open one with four tabs (window 1 as I have used exists to be sure of) and one with 9 (window 2).
tell application "Safari"
activate tab 6 of window 2
end tell
all it does is bring the frontmost safari window up
Please helpThere are a couple of reasons behind this, mostly because you're using the wrong command.
The main thing is that the 'activate' command is used to activate the application. Any other parameters (such as 'tab 6 of window 2') are discarded.
Instead, the appropriate syntax is to set the current tab property of the window:
tell application "Safari"
set current tab of window 2 to (tab 6 of window 2)
end tell
It's a little verbose, but it works.
If you also want to bring that window frontmost you need to change its index:
tell application "Safari"
tell window 2
set current tab to (tab 6 of window 2)
set index to 1
end tell
end tell
Note though that changing the window index will now also change this window to 'window 1' instead of 'window 2'. Something to bear in mind if you're taking further actions. -
How can I get the size of a file with apple script
I try to get the size of a file within an apple script. But I did not find information how to do this.
There are two ways. I think Apple is moving toward using System Events, which is listed first.tell application "Finder"
set myFile to selection as alias
--this just gets a file for me to work with
--coercing it into an alias is required for the other functions
end tell
tell application "System Events"
get size of myFile
end tell
set myInfo to (info for myFile)
get size of myInfo -
