No matter what I do to the Safari window it gets reset to about the size of the download window & I suspect the script then fails to complete as it does not place all my specified windows. Any ideas? Thanks Hi Andrew,

I am currently working with a version that also does email notification when the render is finished and am actually working with a friend to develop a much more powerful, but still easy to use, render queuing app. Targeted at people who need to have an easy way to queue up jobs on individual systems.

At least for me, this does exactly what I want and was really easy to get going. Thanks Andrew! Excellent. At least for me, this does exactly what I want and was really easy to get going.

Feel free to email me your scripts and I can maybe figure out what is going on. Really the Get Sizes script is just looking to pull the bounding info of your windows, and should work just fine with all of those Apps. I don't use Pathfinder, I don't think it would cause issues, but maybe give it a shot with Pathfinder not running. Hmm, that is very odd Justin.

Thanks for putting this together. It looks great, but I'm having a problem with the Get Sizes step. The bounding numbers being put into the TextEdit windows don't have any delimiters, so the numbers are just mashed together: Safari: 4372214771200 Mail: 241120015962078 iTunes: 241122215902078 Yojimbo: 1029221829692 iChat: 1219120016811549 NetNewsWire: 1016221828900 For Path Finder, I'm even getting a hyphen in the output: Path Finder: 183-38583362 Finally, I would love to follow along with the full QT video, but the "Download full 1440×900 video" link above appears to be broken. Any chance you could fix it? Looking forward to your thoughts on the bounding numbers. Thanks! Hey Andrew. Thanks for putting this together.

For Path Finder, I’m even getting a hyphen in the output:

Not sure what the reason is...

Although, you may double-check that you are getting the App name completely correct, or even check the process name. Yeah that was expected.
