Basically, apps aren’t intended to be launched by a plain exec. A normal launch through the LaunchServices API provides some extra setup and state. You _can_ launch an app from a shell or equivalent, and it’ll mostly work, but that’s mostly as a convenience for developers and for debugging, and there’s no guarantee that everything will work correctly. One of the known side effects is that the app launches in an indeterminate state in between active and inactive, which is probably what you’re seeing. If you need to launch an app programmatically, look at the LaunchServices API, or from a shell use the ‘open’ command on the bundle. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
