Does Viscosity keep track of its recent connections in a plist file somewhere? If so, you could read the plist to find that information. Since you are using AppleScript, this would be trivial to do by getting System Events to retrieve the value of the relevant property list item of the plist. On

Correct. Simply drag the Run action to a place higher up the list of actions in QS's preferences than the Open action. It is very strange if Nick does not have a user scripts entry in his catalogue, but adding it manually will work perfectly well. On Jan 28, 9:42 pm, Rob McBroom

This might be caused by an incomplete implementation at the operating system level of your localized date format. For example, Canadian date formats were only fully implemented in 10.6 (or maybe 10.5) which meant that in earlier versions of Mac OS X, date related functions could sometimes break.

You really don't want to do this. I had a similar idea when I was first getting started with QS, but it just creates a god-awful mess. As Eris pointed out, even if you only sync your triggers (note: absolutely never try syncing the catalog!), all you will do is end up creating a race condition
