Apple script for a 1 year long installation!

@gapworks

This would be your script to open Isadora with a delay of 120 seconds, you can do the same with ableton. Save the script as application and put it to the startup objects.

delay 120 --time in seconds
tell application "Isadora"
activate
end tell

@gapworks I think it is now in alerts and then choose open file, I dont find any references to this dissapearing in high sierra, but I did see a few notes about setting different alert possibilities in prefrences.

@michel thanx a lot works great so far! @Fred same to you for your help! 

[gapworks]

@michel one more question. isadora works great because i can tell to use the recent file. abelton starts with an empty file. is there a way to tell abelton what file to use?

@gapworks You can tell Ableton to start with a certain file in the preferences. However, I tried to use that feature before (in a similar situation than the one you have, somebody had to turn on automatically an installation) and I found it was acting a bit weird. Live open your file but it's appearing an untitled file (even though you can recognize your file) and it was not working properly time to time.

I think you can tell your apple script to open "this file" with this "software". I would investigate that way...

@gapworks 

delay 120 --time in seconds

tell application "Finder"

open POSIX file "path to your specific Ableton file"

delay 10 --time in seconds

tell application "Isadora"

activate

end tell

end tell

OT (not so OT)

i've tried to reach same goal in w10 and schedule  management do not start a specific izzy patch at startup, I found a whorkarund creating a .bat file that run isadora patch an then i've placed this file into startup folder...any other solutions (tryed by me) didn't works...but my workaround can not create a delay between ableton and sadora. Any ideas? or schedule management works on your machine? 

P.S.: i'm on w10 1709

Hi there,

For Windows there is AutoHotKey that works great 😀

@maximortal I use task sceduler and always up, alwaysup can monitor your application and restart it if it crashes, it has some utilities for waiting between actions.
