GUI scripting GraphicConverter

Hi

I am trying to do the following: Open application Graphics Converter, open the preferences, choose the “slide show move folder” preferences and select a certain move folder and then click ok and start a slide show and pause it.

I know that Graphic converter is not scriptable enough to set these preferences but I was told that using GUI can do the trick. What is GUI, how do I download it and how can it help me with my project? Are there any basic tutorial sites for GUI?

Thank you for your suggestions

GUI is a computer science term for ‘graphic user interface’. I think what you want is Apple’s extension to applescript called GUI Scripting.

It’s at http://www.apple.com/applescript/uiscripting/

It may allow you control Graphic Converter’s preferences and other non-scriptable features.
