Why does my Mac say there is no application set to open the document?.

Why can’t I open a downloaded file on my Mac?.

How do I open an unresponsive app on a Mac?.

first we try to find it (in case it's already opened) if not my activate_open_instance(quoted_filePath, unquoted_filePath, false) then set zathura to '/usr/local/bin/zathura ' do shell script zathura & quoted_filePath & ' > /dev/null 2>&1 & ' delay 0. Set unquoted_filePath to POSIX path of single_input Set quoted_filePath to quoted form of POSIX path of single_input Set frontmost to true end tell return true end if end repeat end tell return false end activate_open_instance have to use unquoted win title or comparison won't work if myFiles contains unquoted_win_title then tell proc

On activate_open_instance( quoted_win_title, unquoted_win_title, is_first_time) first we try to find it (in case it's already opened) if not my activate_open_instance(filePath, false) then set zathura to '/usr/local/bin/zathura ' do shell script zathura & filePath & ' > /dev/null 2>&1 & ' delay 0.3 - delay is required so it can set the window to fullscreen, but until the window is created, you can't set its properties my activate_open_instance(filePath, true) Set filePath to quoted form of POSIX path of input Set frontmost to true if is_first_time then set value of attribute 'AXFullScreen ' of window 1 to true - set it to fullscreen the first time file opens end if end tell return true end if end repeat end tell return false end activate_open_instance Set fName to my replace_chars(win_title, '' ', '') - have to unquote or comparison won't work if myFiles contains fName then tell proc You have to do something like: - `tell application 'zathura'` - alas, Zathura is not a 'Cocoa Application' - so I had to run lsof for the process PID and strip down the output to contain only filenames set myFiles to paragraphs of ( do shell script 'lsof -F -p ' & PID & ' | grep ^n/ | cut -c2- ') Guess what? - Apparently you cannot grab list of all windows for a process (through - 'System Events') if that process has fullscreen windows. Set PID to proc's unix id - I needed to figure out if this is the instance of Zathura with the - file on hand. Tell application 'System Events ' set zathuraProcList to a reference to ( every process whose name is 'zathura ') On activate_open_instance( win_title, is_first_time) Set this_text to the item_list as string set AppleScript's text item delimiters to '' return this_text

Set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string Set the item_list to every text item of this_text Set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string it's not even funny, I couldn't figure out the proper way of unqotting a - string in applescript with quoted form of POSIX path, so I did this instead on replace_chars( this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
