Yes :-)
Locating an application by name does not work if you've renamed the
Perhaps,but...
I renamed ~/Applications/Xoptimize/Xoptimize to Xoptimize2 in the Finder then used the duplicate menu item on it. Then, in the terminal, I executed
o xoptimize2 This opened two copies of Xoptimize side by side. I didn't have to log out or even rehash. They both still thought they were called Xoptimize, but they operated independently of each other. (X rules) I don't disagree that your program looks pretty cool. The 'open owner of this pref' option seems interesting enough on its own. I'm just saying that for opening apps and their data files from the terminal open does the job pretty well. And as far as breaking all your old scripts when you update/rename your app, just run the scripts through sed. Besides, that's why you shouldn't put version numbers in the bin name. BTW, is your app called launch or FindApp? :-) |
