On Windows, I can launch a subprocess using: open process tHelperApp for text update
And I get a subprocess that does not appear as a separate running app to the user. They do not see it appear in the task bar. There is no apparent change to the running app that launched the helper. It just shows up in task list if you bring up the task manager with CTRL-ALT-DEL which is fine. On OSX (10.9.5), both 'launch thelperApp' and 'open process tHelperApp for text update' start the helper app but also brings it to the front (active app - you can see its menu - only the Apple and App name default menus) and it appears in the dock. This is undesirable. Does any one know how to launch a real subprocess under OSX from LiveCode that stay hidden or in the background at least? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
