Greetings,

I need to port this Windows utility: http://solinker.com to Mac.
The app was written in C#, .NET 2.0.

The main requirement is:
The app should be able to talk with AppleScript to interact with Photoshop. The program is small and UI is simple so I could consider to fully rewritte the app.

Possible candidates are:

  • MonoMac
  • Unity 3D (seems it doesn’t required to install the Mono)
  • XULRunner (Flickr Uploader written by XULR)
  • QT
  • Java (convert all the app to Java + 2 different connector to photoshop:
    for Mac and for Win)

I would be appreciate for any advice!

    If you check the documentation for MonoMac, you will see they have a packager which bundles all dependencies with the final app. So, no need for a seperate Mono install:

    As for AppleScript, MonoDevelop does some wrapping of AppleScript. You should take a look at their source:

    https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/blob/master/main/src/addins/MacPlatform/MacInterop/AppleScript.cs

    I would say MonoMac is your best approach.
