10.4: Hide Automator applications when they run
Authored by: fiddler on Nov 17, '05 08:57:53AM

Hi, I tried doing this with an Automator app (saved as an application to a directory under ~), edited the plist value with a text editor, but it has not worked for me; it still displays the menu bar item. I tried moving it out of the folder and back in, but this does not seem to work for me.

Any suggestions on what might be preventing it from working? It's for an app that takes a screenshot and attaches it to a new mail message, so being able to hide that ugly stop sign would be ideal.

I tested this as well, and it isn't working.

Nevermind, the cache clearing was key. It works well.

Can you elaborate on how to clear the cache?

Er, never mind. I appear to have misunderstood this hint entirely...
