vehovmar Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hey folks, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this, I have pretty simple script to un-minimize all windows of formost application. tell application (path to frontmost application as text) try set miniaturized of every window to false on error errorMessage display alert errorMessage try set collapsed of every window to false on error errorMessage display alert errorMessage reopen end try end try end tell I bind this script to Hotkey (I tried both "Run script" /usr/bin/osascript and "Run NSAppleScript"), but It's not working as in AppleScript Editor. For example for Finder with Alfred workflow, I'm getting error message "Finder got an error: Can’t set |collapsed| of every window to false." That is not happening when I'm testing this script in AppleScript Editor.. OSX 10.9 Alfred 2.1 Link to comment

That is not happening when I'm testing this script in AppleScript Editor.. OSX 10.9 Alfred 2.1 Just so you don't think this is going unanswered, I'm trying to track down the issue on this. I tried a slightly modified approach to this and am getting the same issue. It seems that I can grab the path to the frontmost app as you did, I can grab every window and show a count to confirm that it finds all windows associated with that app, but when it gets to the part of telling it to set the miniaturized or collapsed property, it doesn't seem to work. I looked at it for a little bit yesterday and don't remember console errors but I'll double check today and see if I can get a little further. I may check with Andrew on this as well. Link to comment
