Could you please explain to us how you managed to achieve that?
I feel like this was a typo by DPet and probably should have read “and I couldn’t find a way”.
While there’s no available reference to the current track when playing from “Radio” the duration and length do get updated. cool, so maybe a Database lookup of song durations. [rolls eyes so hard he falls over].
I didn’t catch that it was a typo — I was genuinely looking for a solution, but yeah, AppleScript seems to be lacking that functionality.
I was curious if an AppleScript could be run by way of Spotlight Search in Tahoe, and, in limited testing, this worked if the AppleScript was saved as an app. The AppleScripts I tested did the following:
- quit all apps and close all Finder windows;
- backup my home folder using rsync; and
- display a dialog.
I did not have to set permissions for the above AppleScript apps (other than the dialogs when the app was first run), and they did not appear in the Privacy & Security Accessibility settings. I’m running public beta 6.
I wasn’t able to run an AppleScript that displayed a notification. The AppleScript app did appear in the Notifications pane of System Settings, but enabling the settings didn’t help. For now I’ll use a swiftDialog notification.
For some time I’ve used Shane’s Dialog Toolkit Plus and Myriad Tables Lib script libraries with numerous AppleScripts. With macOS Sequoia, some of these worked but others did not. After installing macOS Tahoe, those that did work continued to work, which is obviously good news. When time permits, I’ll retest those that did not work to see if they might work with Tahoe, which is probably unlikely but worth the time.
