Question

I have a bundle file on osx with a .stack extension. eg test.stack.
Normally a user will double click this file, and that launches a helper app “StackInstaller” momenterally, that copies the .stack file to another pre-determined folder(same folder every time).

I would like to script this with apple script if possible. But i aint big on apple script and my first attempts are failing.

eg:

tell application “Finder” open file “test.stack” of [pathtomydesktophere]

another attempt :

tell application “StackInstaller” open file “test.stack” of [pathtomydesktophere]

Really i want to simulate a user double clicking the .stack file, and i wrongly assumed thats what the open command was doing.

Kind regards Gary

Answer 1

Do a shell script: open ~/Desktop/test.stack
