Application Dropbox AppleScript - Size Slim and Web To-Do
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 11:48 amI wanted to share the AppleScript I use for my application dropbox in case it would be of any use to anyone.
This script first bunts the application over to xSlimmer, which removes excess architectures and languages from the application.
It waits until that application quits (i.e. doesn't appear in the Finder's list of processes), asks me to confirm the application's name, and then creates a task on my to-do list at Remember the Milk to try out the application and decide whether or not to keep it.
