Shane CelisNew script: record-window, records a window excluding title bar of a macOS application.If I never write another line of AppleScript, it'll be too soon.<a href="https://gist.github.com/shanecelis/33d50e4ec0b4dae389ef70ddd2b1c879" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/shanecelis/33d50e4ec0b4dae389ef70ddd2b1c879</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/applescript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#applescript</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bash</a>

paulrickardsThe way it works is this:1. A print is initiated from a device to the CUPS-PDF driver on my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/netatalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#netatalk</a> Raspberry Pi. 2. The resulting PDF is placed in the AFP share of netatalk/afpd. 3. An emulated PPC Mac 9.2.2 running the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleScript</a> below is watching for new files in that folder and will print them using Acrobat Reader to the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ImageWriterII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ImageWriterII</a> via <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LocalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LocalTalk</a> using the MacPalette II driver.It works, but crashes with dialog that I can't auto-dismiss.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VintageApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageApple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VintageMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageMac</a>

paulrickardsOk, I've abandoned Folder Actions as it just doesn't seem to work. I've now gone with an always-running <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleScript</a> to scan the folder.And.. it works! Almost? It seems that MacPalette II crashes (and takes Acrobat Reader with it) after it completes a print and there's a finder dialog that's proving difficult to dismiss in AppleScript.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VintageApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageApple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VintageMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageMac</a>

paulrickardsSo I have a new MacOS 9.2.2 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleScript</a> Folder Action attached to a network share via netatalk. It works only if these conditions are met:1. The folder is open already in the Finder. If it’s closed, it never triggers. 2. The new item is added to the folder from the current machine. Items added remotely to the network share do not “refresh” therefore never trigger the action.Is this expected?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VintageApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageApple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VintageMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageMac</a>

paulrickardsOk <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppleScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleScript</a> folks: how do you make MacOS 9.2 automatically print a PDF that appears in a specific folder?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VintageApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageApple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VintageMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VintageMac</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>
