Any Applescript gurus about?
got a script that needs 1 thing to put it over the top, but can’t figger it out:
MacWorld’s June Geek Factor article – they lay out a neat Automator/Applescript workflow to set the desktop to a downloaded image, but give no tips on how to modify the script for multiple monitors/desktops. Ideally, I’d like the script to only address one of my two desktops.
here’s the section (input is above this segment in Automator):
on run {input, parameters}
tell application “Finder”
select window of desktop
set desktop picture to file “Tiger:Library:Desktop Pictures:Solid Colors:Solid Gray.png”
set desktop picture to file (input as text)
end tell
return input
end runAs it is now, if I disable my 2nd monitor, the script works – otherwise, it fails.
ideas? thanks!!

Try the recorde function with both monitors enabled…

I’m sorry Simon, but I don’t know Applescript well enough to be able to find an appropriate reference to the “record function”. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Its been a while but there used to be a record function in apple script, but the last time I used it was in OS9 so I am probably not the best person. But if you look on the developer site in their reference library you should be able to find what you are looking for.
