For some reason I cannot post any code to this board, access denied?!?!

Here's a download link for the code I intended to post.

AppleScript_for_Johannes.scpt.zip

Install cliclick in /usr/local/bin/.

this works like a charm. Thanks Oliver!

I've added in the script to type in the preset name. Just replace the line with "your preset name here" with the name of the preset you want to recall.

The rest is up to you how you want to implement the script.

keep in mind, to install cliclick in the specified directory you will have to show hidden files and folders in the Finder. The easiest way to do this is open the Finder window and hold Commnd+Shift+. Then drop the cliclick file in the appropriate folder.

cliclick can be downloaded here

thanks a lot guys. thats it!
i added:
click button "RENDER"
after the first end tell.

wow, now i have to make sure not to move my mouse while executing the macro… otherwise it could do a lot of mess. i wonder if there is way to tell applescript to block mouse or trackpad inputs during the macro¿

[its2loud]

not really sure about that. Considering the script runs in a matter of seconds I wouldn't think it would be a big deal to just take your hand off the mouse when using the shortcut key to run the service/script.

by the way. this script only works if the De-click window is already showing on screen.

I've written a script that will call up the De-click, or any other plugin, if it's not already showing, then execute the remaining commands.

A lot of folks I know use Xkeys for executing these various scripts while editing and such. Makes for a really great workflow. Personally, I've made some user softkeys on the S6 execute these scripts so I don't need Xkeys.

i see. just tested it with my macbook and its trackpad… will see how it works in my studio. probably just like a dream.

at work the rx declicker is always visible on the second monitor since i use it the whole time. and yes using a xkeys - one key triggering – is great. now i make 3 declick presettings from subtle to hard and map them on 3 keys. ace!

what makes a lot of sense regarding workflow:
i added & " -r " to the shell part at the end of the script which preserves the cursor position on the screen. so you didnt have to "pick up" the cursor from the declick window over and over again.
