I created a few applescript applications to automate some features in iTunes. (Namely to update podcasts, to play a playlist for a fixed period of time and to turn iTunes off after a user selected time interval.) These applications worked fine in Tiger but quit when started under Leopard. Has any body seen this problem?
What I have done so far:
- The scripts perform properly when run from the Script Editor.
- The scripts perform properly when saved as scripts and called from iTunes.
- Resaved the scripts as applications. The new applications still quit at startup.
- Saved one of the scripts as an application bundle. The application bundle executed properly at least once.
(I have placed this bundle into its workflow and I am waiting to see if it performs properly.)
So a second question is; Why do Application Bundles work but Applications do not?
Particulars:
OS X 10.5.1 AppleScript 2.0 Script Editor 2.2 iTunes 7.6
Thank you for any help you can give.
