-nosave

How does the -nosave argument work on a Mac? AppleScript? Terminal?

You have to be able to open Gig Performer using any command line or programmable tool (such as Applescript) that can pass arguments.

We made the the assumption that someone who knows enough about running anything headless will know about such mechanisms :slight_smile:

For example, from the command line you can write something like the following (assuming GigPerformer is installed in your Applications folder)

open /Applications/GigPerformer.app --args -nosave

If you want to use Applescript then something like

do shell script “open /Applications/GigPerformer.app --args -nosave”

will probably work though I haven’t tried that myself. You may have to include the path to the open command and write

do shell script “/usr/bin/open /Applications/GigPerformer.app --args -nosave”

Cool. Thanks. Iʻll give it a try

That works great for the initial GigPerformer but does nothing for the second instance. Is there a command to open a second instance that I could use the -nosave argument with?

Hmmm, didn’t even think about multiple instances — we’ll get that fixed
