The remark is'nt about that... - mmsomekid

Yes, it does say please do not copy the script or use it in an application without permission. This is only refered to if you stole the script from this application. If you already know how to do that, that's one thing, but if you are just copying it, that's another. All I ask is if you are going to take it from Go Go Quicktime, please just ask first.

Remark on code - RestonMacGuy

I'm afraid I agree with the original poster. Out of curiosity I downloaded this program and compared it with other scripts that do the same thing. I have a script dated 2002 that reads:

on open fileName
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
open fileName
present movie 1
end tell
end open

And another dated August 2005 that reads

tell application "QuickTime Player"
present front movie scale screen
end tell

Now, how is your code different? You use a simple, single statement that uses no variables, properties or enhancements, and relies solely on the QuickTime dictionary. I can't see how you can possibly hope to have people give you credit for code that already exists!

A much more complete and elegant solution exists and may be found on the MacOSXHints web site:

I produce it here to show how *scripting* works:

on open theMovie
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
set request to display dialog "Select a scaling, fool!" with icon ¬
note buttons {"normal", "double", "screen"} default button "screen"
if button returned of request is "normal" then
open theMovie
present movie 1 scale normal
else if button returned of request is "double" then
open theMovie
present movie 1 scale double
else if button returned of request is "screen" then
open theMovie
present movie 1 scale screen
end if
end tell
end open

or... - Andreas..

My code – full screen for movie after movie:

try
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
        repeat until exists movie 1
            if (keys pressed) = {"Option"} then exit repeat
      -- ("Easy exit" – needs Jon's OSAX)
        end repeat
        present movie 1 scale screen
        repeat until not (exists movie 1)
            if (keys pressed) = {"Option"} then exit repeat
      -- Remove the 3 'if' lines if you don't have Jon's
      -- or if you don't want exit with the Option key.
        end repeat
        repeat
            if (keys pressed) ≠ {"Option"} then exit repeat
        end repeat
    end tell
    run
end try

You can start it however you like. I use QuicKeys to start it off whenever QT Player launches.

Unauthorised copying will be considered a compliment!!
