Scripting Garageband Default Save Location / Most recent file

Good morning AppleScript world!

I am working in a school music department with new MacAirs. Is it possible to script Garageband’s default save location and/or change the cache of the last saved file, so that it will not open the previous file or try to save to the “Garageband” folder on the hard drive?

I hope someone can help! Thanks in advance.

Hi hebrink,

I have tried to script Garage Band and it is very hard to do. It’s not scriptable so you need to use ui scripting. In the end it’s not very useful. It might be better to do it manually.

I’ll reread your post and see what can be done.

Edited: btw, seems like it’s a bit complicated (i.e. reading the last cached file). But, maybe it can be done.

Hi hebrink,

By the last cached file, do you mean the last song that you were working on or playing? In other words it the song that opens when you open Garage Band?
