Hi,
Not a direct Lily question, but useful nonetheless:
Any OS X folks know how to tell Apple's Preview application -- from
the commandline -- to close foo.pdf (but leave other pdfs open, ie,
without actually killing the Preview process)?
The most obvious way would be to use Applescript, unfortunately,
Applescript isn't supported by Preview.app. But macworld.com has the
solution: <http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2006/10/
previewscript/index.php>
Here they turn on Applescript from the command line with:
defaults write /Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Info
NSAppleScriptEnabled -bool YES
And then you can close a window with:
tell application "Preview"
close window 1
end tell
I have not yet used it, but presumably, every OS update that also
updates Preview.app will override this setting back to the default.
Some quick experimenting results in:
tell application "Preview"
repeat with i from 1 to number of windows
set current_window to item i of windows
set current_name to name of the document of the current_window
if current_name is "AdemVanEeuwigheid.pdf" then
close window i
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
Where AdemVanEeuwigheid.pdf is a pdf of a lilypond score.
Perhaps you can make this into a folder action that executes on the
directory where your pdfs are created in?
HTH,
Arjan
