I have a stay open applescript application and it calls my idle handler correctly. If I right-click the running application in the dock it shows the standard options (eg. Hide, Quit, etc.). Is there a way to add my own options to this menu?
Thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
I have scoured the internet to figure this out and had now luck. I have found a workaround by using the quit handler. This makes it so when you try and quit the "on idle" app you get a menu that can lead you to other options instead of quitting.
**** This is my first post, and I don't know how to post script. If someone tells me I'll make this show correctly.*****
on quit
display dialog "Do you want to delay instead?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button {"No"} giving up after 10
if result = {button returned:"Yes", gave up:false} then
GoToDelay()
else
continue quit
end if
end quit
on GoToDelay()
display dialog "How long do you want to delay for?" buttons {"5 Minutes", "10 Minutes", "15 Minutes"} giving up after 7 with title "VPN Application Delay Options."
if result = {button returned:"5 Minutes", gave up:false} then
set delay_time to 5 * 60
else if result = {button returned:"10 Minutes", gave up:false} then
set delay_time to 10 * 60
else
display dialog "Delay Canceled" giving up after 7 buttons {"Ok"} with title "VPN Application Delay Options"
set delay_time to 10
end if
end GoToDelay
Before you post code, click on the blue text Use advanced editor in the upper right corner of this editor. Your AppleScript will be skewed off the page as yours has done above. Select all of this code, and then from the Style menu, choose paragraph. The code, however unstructured, will now be entirely visible in your post.
The >> symbol next to the Smiley in the toolbar, also offers alternate ways to post code without the truncation problem. There is no prebuilt style for AppleScript though.
