Running Applications proxy

[pjrobertson]

I'd like to make use of the NSRunningApplication class that's new to 10.6

We could include it in QS within an if() so it only runs on 10.6, although I'm not sure if this would be possible.

Implementing it would be as easy as running

NSArray *runningApps = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] runningApplications];

Method is

• (NSArray *)runningApplications

I don’t have that one. What plug-in is it part of?

Feature request ;)

you've been able to get a list of running apps since at least 10.4, and this is already in QS in a couple of different forms.
if you enable searching catalogs, and enable the "Running Applications & Processes" catalog entry, that will show you a list of running apps. also, the "Visible Applications" proxy object shows the same apps.
this actually seems to be a bug, Visible Apps is meant to be a counterpart to Hidden Apps, but it shows all running apps whether they're hidden or not. in the next day or two, i'll fix this bug, and make a "Running Applications" proxy that does what the Visible Apps one does currently

Damn Alcor for always thinking of everything.

When we go 10.6+ only, it may be worth changing to using an NSRunningApplications class, but this looks good.

I'll have a play when I get some time...
