your tweet mentions adding an app to the login items with MacRuby http://twitter.com/alloy/status/16222135985 Can you show more of the code?

In the previous rev you'll find some pure Ruby to add an app to the loginitems. However, after further investigation, it turned out that that way you miss the aliasData. Meaning that if you move the app, the login item is broken and automatically removed. With this API the alias data is generated and works as expected. Only problem is that there's no BS file for this framework, and generating one still won't make it work out of the box...

Does that answer the question? I'm not sure what more code you'd like to see.

Oops, I now see I'm not actually doing anything with the 'hide' param, will fix that later today.
