Hi there, I am using this in Mavericks - and use QuickSilver trigger to run the script from keyboard shortcut. It works fine when I run it from the AppleScript Editor, but from the keyboard trigger i randomly (it seems) get this error: 26/04/2014 9:58:37.126 am Quicksilver[15188]: Run Script: System Events got an error: Can’t get window 1 of process "Terminal". Invalid index. My script I have used, changing your slightly is: on run argv
end run Any ideas on why this message appears? Kind regards, Steve |
