I want to call: typedef enum { TerminalSaveOptionsYes = 'yes ' /* ...
I'm working on a Cocoa app that monitors what you're listening to in iTunes, and since I'm targeting Mac OS 10.5 and higher, I've decided to use Scripting Bridge. If I try to close iTunes too close to the time that my app polls it for the current track, iTunes will immediately relaunch! The only way to reliably prevent this behavior is ...

Hi, is it possible to get the POSIX path or target to the frontmost window using the Scripting Bridge framework? I'm using FinderApplication *theFinder = [SBApplication aplicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.Finder"; but I can't find anything in "Finder.h" that could work. ...

How would I go about creating one of them objects based on a path to or URI of the file? The farthest I've got is the [SBObject initWithProperties] method bri...
