Have Pro Tools Automatically Open Template

[elankf1]

Hi all,

This may or may not be possible, but it seems like it should be.... Instead of running Pro Tools and opening the template file or dragging the template file onto the Pro Tools app, is there a way to pass Pro Tools the name of the template and have it open it automagically? (in a nutshell, to the end user, have a template work like it used to).

I tried this using AppleScript by having it tell Pro Tools to open the template file. This did nothing but crash Pro Tools. I glanced at Automator, and I didn't notice any obvious ways to work with non-Apple applications.

Does anybody have any suggestions? We have a lot of non-Mac people using our equipment, and if they can double-click on something that will open up the template in Pro Tools and still get the "New Session" button, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,
