Automating quitting and launching apps.

[caspersoong]

I use Robin and Safari interchangably. I open Robin to use less RAM for most of the time,then open Safari when I need to do serious surfing and saving of web pages. Is there a way to make Robin quit when Safari launches, and make Safari quit when Robin launches, automatically? Thanks!

I bet you could make Apple Scripts for each, then execute "Robin to Safari" or "Safari to Robin" instead of using their icons to launch them. By the way, this is the first time I've heard of Robin.

Here you go. Paste this into Applescript editor and save each as an app. Place the saved apps in your dock and click when you want to run.

tell application "Safari"
	launch
end tell
tell application "Robin"
	quit
end tell

tell application "Robin"
	launch
end tell
tell application "Safari"
	quit
end tell
