Run application from Quartz composer

I would like to understand this as well. Right now, I can send TCP commands via the TCP plugin (from vade), but I am not sure how to start external applications and send more commands.

Is there an automator plugin for QC that can be compiled into app form?

I have make 2 application with Quartzbuilder ( app1, app2) and now from another application (app3) I want start app1 and show/change the parameter window. Or from app3, start app2 and show/change the parameter. the parameter of app1 and app2 are different. Also the app3 is made with Quartzbuilder and when press a virtual button on the screen I would like to run app1 or app2...

I believe the CommandLine plugin in the Developers Examples should do the trick.

Edit*

Here you go:

Thanks for help, I have try to use CommandLineTool and for make a folder work good. I have try to run an App but without success. I have put:

in Path: /bin/open

in Argument#1: /Users/ugasparon/Desktop/Myapp.app

Where i mystake? in Terminal I write: open /Users/ugasparon/Desktop/Myapp.app and work correct..

I have found the solution :-)

in the CommandLineTool I have write: Path: /Users/username/Desktop/runapp.sh

runapp.sh is attach file to this comment.

this work but probably there is a direct metod without a file .sh

I would say by far the easiest way to control another application is to use the AppleScript patch. You would simple put inside the patch Tell application "whatever you want to control" activate End tell

You could use this to control files and folders change screen resolution, basically anything you can do with AppleScript which is a lot. Cheers Steve
