Running a script from the GraphicConverter script menu

Post by Robert Poland »

Thorsten, For years I have had a script in the GraphicConverter script menu. A script that activates and positions the tool windows on the screen. Now there are new battles to get it to run. A script won’t do the job and needs to be an app. For some reason I can’t run an app from this menu so I have a script that runs the app. Now with Mavericks the app needs to be signed, no matter where is is placed. Any chance you can help me with this? TIA, Robert Poland iMac, Mid 2011, 12,2 2.7 GHz Intel Core I5, 27” 12 GB Ram, 1TB HD OS X 10.9 GraphicConverter 8.8.3 (1378)

This sounds as if you want to automate tasks in a program's interface. For years (decades...) I have used QuicKeys which sadly isn't updated any longer. It seems to work on Mavericks, though. http://www.startly.com/ Keyboard Maestro seems to be an alternative: http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/document ... tures.html This might be what you need: -> Triggers: Application: on startup -> Interface Control Actions - Manipulate a window - resize, move, center, close, zoom, minimize, bring to front. - Move or click the mouse with modifiers. - Select or show a specific menu. - Press a button with a specific name. - Type a keystroke. - Simulate moving the scroll wheel. - Use a variable to set the mouse, window, or application.

I also stumbled over this page: http://www.macosautomation.com/maverick ... index.html It suggests that one needs to sign Applets using an Apple Developer ID. I guess it should work with a free account that just uses your normal Apple ID: https://developer.apple.com/register/index.action Robert Poland schrieb am 19.11.13 23:35: > Thorsten, > > For years I have had a script in the GraphicConverter script menu.

Looks like the iKey Editor doesn’t work with Mavericks.
