Terribly interesting finding in my main console.log file today…

Now, I know that these apps launch in this order from an AppleScript that I run when I plug in at work. The interesting thing (to me) is that the console is suggesting that these apps were launched by Quicksilver and not by the AppleScript that queues them or even Script Editor.app. So the mystery becomes: How is Quicksilver owning these launches? Especially since Quick silver isn’t even invoked in the script… Just plain ol’:

tell application “Terminal”

  activate

  set the bounds of window 1 to {20, 20, 820, 620}

end tell

tell application “Firefox”

  activate

end tell

And so on…
