Extremely strange error

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode

EDIT: A discovery has been made! It’s possibly as stupid as the problem. It only errors when you build and run through xcode! How stupid is this…

Ok, so Stefan K and I have been trying to find this odd bug but to no avail. my app is an itunes controller, and if you open it before iTunes is opens, iTunes goes to open like it normally would, except it immediately closes and then tries to reopen, then closes again, and keeps doing that for a while.

I have tried so many things, trying to hunt this bug down, removing my preferences, removing certain chunks of code, removing the menulet and nothing would work at all. The strange thing is, if iTunes is already open when you open this app, everything works perfectly.

I am posting my entire project here, because a. I’m curious to see if everyone else gets the error, and b. maybe someone will see something thats wrong with it.

Hendo:

I am not sure if this will help you or not. It worked as advertised either with iTunes already open or not, both from within XCode, and as a standalone app.

This machine is just over a year old:

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 3 GB

OSX 10.5.4

I think it is a pretty cool app, by the way. I have a couple of older machines at home I can try it out on later this week.

thanks Craig, there must be something quirky with my XCode, I’m done the next release (all preferences working)

im not releasing it until i talk to the app’s gfx guy though, but if someone would like to beta test it, let me know :slight_smile:
