Tweaks for “Desktop Organiser” (OSX application)

The application is still a bit buggy (configuration files get polluted when you connect external monitors), and I also like to have it as a “command” you execute once in a while rather than a daemon-style (resource hog) application.

The apple script below allowed me to achieve this target:

-- wait for application to terminate
if application "Desktop Organiser" is running then
	tell application "Desktop Organiser" to quit
	repeat
		if application "Desktop Organiser" is not running then exit repeat
		delay 1
	end repeat
end if

-- replace current with saved settings
do shell script "cp ~/Dropbox/Library/Preferences/com.greenparksoftware.* ~/Library/Preferences/"

-- organize and then quit
tell application "Desktop Organiser" to activate
tell application "Desktop Organiser" to "Organise Now"
delay 1
tell application "Desktop Organiser" to quit

I suggest you to write this applescript in the OSX “AppleScript Editor” and then
“File->Export…” it to a standalone OSX app!! Works like a charm 🙂
