Mark, That is unfortunate. The 3rd party middleware tool I’m using to send command line parameters doesn’t support AppleEvents. It only supports sending command line parameters. Please consider adding a feature that will let me catch the command line parameters for Mac apps like relaunch does

Re: What is Macintosh equivalent of relaunch handler?

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I want my application to be able to catch parameters sent to it via the command line. The relaunch handler does that for Windows applications and also doesn’t open another instance of the application. You are correct that Mac apps run in a single instance by default

I’m writing a countdown timer application and want to display the remaining time not as the number of seconds but in the format of HR:MIN:SEC left. For example 75 seconds would display as “0:1:15”. 130 seconds would display as “0:2:10”. I know how to do the math to figure it out but I’m
