Iwould like to be able to generate a list, and hopefully access one-by-one, all the open windows of any specific app no matter what desktop they are in. Many apps have a Windows menu that lists all the open windows, but that seems like I would have to have specific macros to manage the lists for each different app. That's not ideal.

I found one KBM token that comes close, %WindowName%All%, but it just lists all the windows of the current app in the current desktop. I want to expand that to list all the windows of the app in all desktops. If I have three TextEdit windows in the current desktop and six other TextEdit windows in other desktops, if I display %WindowName%All% when one of the TextEdit widows is formost, it shows a list of the three windows in the current desktop.


I imagine KBM has some built-in way to do it, but I haven't been able to find it. I could step through all the different desktops, one after another, and see if it has any TextEdit windows and then select one and then use %WindowName%All%, but that seems inelegant.


@ccstone / Chris, are you serious that AppleScript cannot see other Mission Control Desktops? That's absurd. And, unfortunately, I believe you. Do you know how to tell what is an AppleScriptable app and what is not? For instance, just this week I started using a new Markdown Editor called Typora. How could I look up somewhere or test if it is AppleScriptable?


I currently have 21 Desktops/Workspaces between two monitors. (I don't want to try imagining how to live without them.) I also currently have 23 TextEdit windows open. Using the Windows menu in TextEdit, I can get a list of the filenames, but it doesn't show me which Desktop/Workspace each one is in. That's what I was hoping I could entice KBM to do for me.


I guess I'll just have to step through each of 21 desktops and generate a list of what window are open and then filter, sort, and format the combined list into something useful. Definitely not a sweet solution.


Because he responded to a support question I had, I have the direct email address for Abner at Typora, so I requested better programmatic access, either an API or more AppleScript access than the default.


like macos - Listing all windows of all applications - Stack Overflow

or getting list of open windows - AppleScript Mac OS X - MacScripter

or macos - Listing all opened documents across all open visible apps in AppleScript - Ask Different


It appears to be a bit fixed in the current version of Typora, v1.1.5, out of Beta where it had been for years, and now costing $15 instead of free. (There is a free trial mode with a reminder/nag window that counts down the trial period.)


Is running that in the Script Editor enough? Do I need to make a KM macro to run it while Typora is frontmost? Putting it into the script editor with a delay 3 ahead of it lets me click the Run button and then make Typora frontmost.


When i use visible there I get an error and when I use frontmost I get true in the Results pane of the Script Editor. So I'm still not sure how to tell if the AppleScript support got fixed in the Typora 1.1 version. Can you tell?


I'm realizing that one of the purposes I had for the original question (but not all) was to be able to tell one desktop from another, to tell when a desktop had been moved, etc. and I think I can do that using some one specific app that is well behaved that way. Maybe TextEdit, maybe something else. The idea here is to emulate what CurrentKey does invisibly by having some app that has one window on each and every desktop and using that to force window changes.


I'm getting set to give up Mojave for Catalina. I don't use my 32-bit apps much anymore and there are free or affordable alternatives to the ones I do. Mostly the threshold for me is that sharing Notes between my iPhone and my Mac, on Mojave I can share only individual files with another person while on the iPhone I can share whole folders with someone else, and then they disappear from the Mac because Mojave doesn't grok shared folders. Moving to Catalina should fix this as well as give me updates to some other software that no longer supports Mojave.


I spent a day generating a list of all the 32-bit apps I had (there were 145 of them) and going through to see what I would miss if I deleted them (mostly Office 11 and a.bunch of Adobe stuff that I don't use or the licence has expired). The big one has been Acrobat Pro X, but some of the features I have been counting on are now in Acrobat Reader and others are available as free web utilites. Worst case is I subscribe for a month if there's something I HAVE TO have.


Did you test it for yourself ? I don't have Mojave, so I'm afraid I cannot, but I'm happy to report that it still works in Monterey. However, using the info that @ccstone provided about the possible error-prone statements, I've refactored the previous function to remove references to those elements:


Thanks @CJK, I appreciate your effort and I look forward to trying it. Unfortunately that could be a month away. Only being able to work on this every few months is frustrating. By the time I get back up to speed on the problem, my time window is nearly gone.


When opening up a Data Table, I used to be able to have additional panels such as "Windows List" and "Projects" show up in the same window by going through [View >> Windows List] or [View >> Projects].


The closest I can get is to have Windows list and Projects show up as separate panels on the JMP Home Window, but that's still not as convenient as having them on the same window as my Data Tables especially when I only have one monitor.


I have Windows 8 on my laptop and the jumplist for putty has always worked just fine. After installing Putty on my desktop (Win 10) the jumplists do not show up when I right-click the taskbar icon, Putty v0.65.


After scouring the internet, apparently a fix was provided in version 0.66. So I uninstalled 0.65 and installed 0.66... no help, same issue. some comments on a similar question to this actually said they had better luck with the development version, so I uninstalled 0.66 and installed the 11/30/2015 version of Putty. I have unpinned and re-pinned as well as deleted my saved sessions and recreated them. I even tried to clean registry entrys with ccleaner after uninstalling and before installing. I currently have 2 saved sessions and this is what my right-click taskbar context menu looks like (start menu jump list is exactly the same):


... be sure to have "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar" enabled under Personalization > Start in your Windows 10 settings. I turned it off after doing a fresh Windows install and didn't think anything of it until I wasn't seeing my recent sessions.


This will be an additional putty taskbar item if you already had the standard putty pinned to taskbar. Since I only use one putty session every time, I deleted the original putty taskbar pin. If you have multiple connections you want to pin, then you would repeat the above steps for each one and would probably want to change the shortcut icons for each to differentiate.


When I open IE it's working for 1st and 2nd time, but after some clicks it's not working anymore and I need to restart IE and then it normally works for couple of times.When it not working through Sharepoint it also not works via \server\DavWWWRoot\PWA and oposite.


I solved this problem when I realized my XP32 box could do this just fine with IE8. So I reverted to IE8 in 7x64 (you have to do it by uninstalling updates for IE until you're back at 8) and it didn't work. The build versions were different and on the 7x64 "about" box it said IE8 was using 256-bit cipher while in XP32 it had 128-bit. That to me was a hint that there may be 64-bit issues even when you run the 32-bit executable.


Then I found this hotfix so I reinstalled the windows update for IE10 and then installed this hotfix. Now I'm able to open the TeamCenter site in question in windows Explorer. IE10 reports it's version 10.0.9200.16686. I cannot guarantee that it was the hotfix alone (and not also the reinstallation of IE10) which fixed it. But I'm willing to bet it was the hotfix alone.


In XP I found it impossible to then map this network location to a drive letter, as mapping doesn't like URL's. However in Windows 7 you can transform the URL so that it is interpreted as a Windows share. If the URL of a given folder is of this form:


I do have issues at that point that even with IE10 open and logged in to the site I see some random time-out like problems and I get kicked off (and prompted to log in again in IE10). My situation is complicated because the site I'm accessing requires an Exostar token to log in, so I have to log in via website no matter what.


If it helps any one do the steps suggested above:Make sure to use 32 bit internet explorer (program files (x86)/internet explorer). Like was mentioned above Web client must be started. You may also need to add your site to trusted sites in internet explorer. Make sure enabled protected mode in internet options is disabled.


After you log into windows go into services then restart the WebClient then see if you can use explorer view without the error " your client does not support. blah blah blah" if it does work then. make a batch file that says:


then make a scheduled tasks that runs that batch file at start up. Have it run as a user with administrative rights, make sure you tell it to run even if user is not logged in. it should prompt you for the password of the admin account you selected. this worked for me with windows 7.


I found online where the error can occur intermittently with SharePoint 2010, however I think the SharePoint version is irrelevant. They said the client polls for a SharePoint root site and that the error occurs if one isn't found.
