Hi,

If anyone still want updates, then just say so. I have some ideas on error checking. There is one update you should make though. change the last iTunes tell block to:

tell application "iTunes"
	activate
	play
	reveal current track
end tell

Because, you want to see the currently playing track.

ps. really anal retentive huh! :slight_smile: Not pompous.

First of all, we need to check if iTunes is already running.

#23

Something like this:

set is_running to application "iTunes" is running
if is_running then
	display dialog "iTunes is running.
The script can't run if iTunes is running (maybe)
Do you want to quit iTunes or relaunch?"
end if

Hi,

If anyone is interested, I found a bug with the script here in Yosemite. If the current space is space 5 then it gets stuck. It might have been there all the time, but working on the fix. Don’t know yet.

A quick fix would be to set the current space to something other than 5 I’m thinking.

Edited: I think Yosemite broke it, because quite sure it should be run from space 5.

#26

No that didn’t fix it. Darn, what is it about starting in space 5?

Hi McUsr,

I might switch to your method of switching spaces. It might be more stable. Any change by Apple in the ui and you have to debug it again when using ui element scripting. That’s the problem maybe.

Although, it was so much more easier, in the long run you lose because you need to continuously update on each upgrade to the os.

I need to look again at your long long long script. :smiley:

Thanks,
