Well, thank you very much for pointing that out. I'll edit the post anyway so that it sticks to the documentation. Jean-Christophe Jean-Christophe

May I ask what version of the OS you are running? -- Shane Stanley <sstanley@...> <www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/>, <latenightsw.com>

If it’s correct, it means what you think it means, but I’d still argue that unless that's officially documented, it is better not to rely on it. Best Phil @sqwarq

Ok, I found where I got this idea. It's in the http://www.launchd.info link: And indeed, it did not make sense to me :) But since it works I thought my comments in the code were not entirely

Phil, You're right. I was confused. I'll correct the post later today. Jean-Christophe Jean-Christophe Helary ----------------------------------------------- @brandelune

Well, the docs say this: Program <string> This key maps to the first argument of execv(3) and indicates the abso- lute path to the executable for the job. If this key is missing, then the

Wow, thank you Phil :-) I know. I wrote about that in the comments. It is just that the sample files I got all had both, so I though it was better to keep the data just to be on the safe side. Are you

Good work! I shall retweet that. BTW, you don’t need to specify both Program and Program Arguments in your plist. If you leave out the Program key (and the osascript string that follows it), launchd

I just wrote an article on that issue. Thank you all for your help. (any comments are welcome) https://mac4translators.blogspot.jp/2017/12/automation-scheduling-file-and.html Jean-Christophe

Thanks for this handy script, Shane. I started a new topic to help others find it. Best Regards, Jim Underwood aka JMichaelTX From: Shane Stanley <sstanley@...> Date: Tuesday, December 5, 2017 at

You can still do it via Calendar.app -- you just have to set the file manually. Otherwise it's probably a matter of launchd or a third-party utility. -- Shane Stanley

Ok, so the only way to actually launch a script at a given date/time is to use launchd I guess ? Jean-Christophe Helary ----------------------------------------------- @brandelune

As noted elsewhere, you can't do that since macOS 10.9. The filepath property is a vestige of bygone carefree days. -- Shane Stanley

If there is an Applescript way to open a specific file at a given time that does not involve Calendar, I'm all for it, but right now I'm trying to focus on Calendar because that's where I manage all

Thanks Chris, that’s mostly a winner, at least I can now get and set the property. Hopefully I can eventually get the Finder to respond to the changes. For now I’ll just abort the script and set

Hey John, Try this: ---------------------------------------------------------------- # Auth: Christopher Stone # dCre: 2017/11/26 19:40 # dMod: 2017/11/26 19:44 # Appl: Finder # Task: Get

Thanks Bob, That works but doesn’t solve my problems. I’m looking at the desktop not just any random Finder window. I have a script that cleans my desktop by moving file/icons around, it won’t

Maybe the following will be of some help; tell application "Finder" activate if ((current view of window index 1) = list view) then set wdw to window 1 select wdw -- in case the window was not

Hey Phil, Remember? Type? I keep stuff like that in my snippets library, so they're a couple of keystrokes away. :) Still... Good to know. -- Take Care, Chris
