Just type lsof in a Terminal window and hit enter.
Thanks for the reply Richmond.
I tried that before emailing the List, thinking there must be an
easier way as tons of OS files and OS processes are listed with that
method. Maybe I'll return to it however if an easy, lazy method
doesn't appear ;-)

Hi Jim 0 This might be a round about way but...You could use
applescript to
1. Get the name of every application process
Tell application "system event" to get the name of every application
process
2. parse the list, then weed out the background apps via
Tell application "system event" to get the background only of process
<<processname>>
And finally...
3. Tell application "system event" to get the name of every document
of
process <<processname>>
Just be aware that not every application will necessarily yield up a
full
list of documents using this approach. Safari for example will only
give you
the title of the active tab in each window and Firefox will probably
give
you nothing. If you want more then you may have to resort to iterating
through a processes windows and attempting to capture the relevant
information through one or other of the window's properties. I've
probably
got some routines that might help if you want to go down that path.
That looks very promising, thanks Terry!
I think that using the following with some Rev scripts will get me
what I need :-)
[posting in case someone searches the list archives for such a thing]
tell application "System Events"
set theProcesses to every process whose visible is true and name is
not "Finder" and name is not (name of me)
end tell
-- NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SEEMS TO REQUIRE ACCESS FOR ASSISTIVE DEVICES
TO BE ENABLED
tell application "System Events"
get name of every window of application process "Preview"
end tell
