I am finding it impossible to add Applescripts to login items in Tahoe
For instance this application script: tell application "Safari" to quit
cannot be added if I use the + sign in login items or drag it to the login items.
No problem with Sequoia ever
What's going on ?
Thanks
MacBook Air, macOS 26.5
Sorry, I am running Tahoe as well, and I cannot reproduce the issue. I created an AppleScript script, and was able to add it to the login items, both by dragging and by using the + button.
Are you running any sort of "cleaner" or "antivirus"?
Also: as a test, create a new user account; see if the same problem occurs in the test account. This will help determine if the problem is specific to your normal account.
You can also run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Maybe we can find something from it, as is often the case.
I received a reply that I no longer have the email RSVP nor do I see it posted. I believe it was from Camelot, who asked to try from a test account and get an Etrecheck report. It works for test account.
Thanks for our help
I have just tested and was able to add a script to login items, without issue.
Sorry, but I have to ask: why would you add something to quit Safari at login? Safari should not be running, anyway, unless you had it running before and your settings are to start the applications again (or have put Safari on the login items itself).
The simple point is I CANNOT add an AppleScript to login items in Tahoe.
Typed the wrong info...for instance this script: tell application "Safari" to activate...cannot add it !!!!!
In Sequoia, I can drag and drop this or any other script to login items or use the + sign in login items to search for the script to add. I cannot do this in Tahoe.
Thanks
sorry for confusion
This may be the first post that I have seen where a user wants to add AppleScripts to their login items. I certainly do not do this, nor would I recommend it.
As has been mentioned by Luis Sequeira1, there are no user applications that are automatically launched from a previous login when one disables the Reopen windows when logging in selection on each of menu -> {Restart…, Shutdown…, Logout… } dialogs. Here is my Shutdown dialog:
The above would make your AppleScript suggestion unnecessary.
