[ANSWERED] How to call an Applescript within Isadora

How to call an Applescript file inside the patch?

@whitefly

Currently there is no way to call Applescript inside of Isadora. What you can do is use the basics of this process (LINK) and have Isadora write anything to a text file inside the watched folder using the Data Array actor in order to trigger the watch folder action to run the Applescript.

Thanks for your quickly answer.

We need just to Shutdown the Mac by operator trigger.

Any other ideas?

I'd say the best way right now is the one I outlined above. (We're working on making a much easier way, but I can't officially give a timeline for that.)

Best wishes,

@woland How do you have Isadora write a text file and auto save to the watched folder?

 you can also use Osculator ( 22€) to run an apple Script. In Isadora send an OSC message (e.g. with a waveform actor) to Osculator 

and set in Osculator the received message to start the Apple Script:
