  1. I love this tool, but I have an Applescript I want it to run whenever I join the group "Work".

    I have added the Applescript to the Snapshot (the .scpt file), but it does not run the scpt.

    Any help would be apprecitated

  2. Hmmm... that's odd. I'll look into it right away.

  3. Ok, it's quite possible that your script has "user interaction" (e.g. dialog boxes, etc.).

    There is a bug in my current implementation that prevents these from running. A fix is forthcoming...

  4. Here is my script. It runs just fine when I just click it. I also tried running it as a workflow, that still doesn't work either.

    The Name of the script is: "AS_Start VPN, Turn on Lock".

    Thanks for the help.

    try
    tell application "/Users/.../Documents/Applescripts/Start Lock.app"
    run
    end tell
    end try

    try
    tell application "/Users/.../Documents/Applescripts/Start VPN.app"
    run
    end tell
    end try

  5. A fix appears in 0.5071; try that version and let me know how it goes.

    Currently the program will wait to complete the snapshot until the script returns, I am working on a fix for that.

  7. Glad to hear that it worked! An update that fixes the "wait" time necessary will be forthcoming.
