X-1.0rc2: Mac: apps containing blank in name cannot be closed --- workaround

[yellowsoar]

***** workaround
e.g. Address Book.app

App("Address Book").open() # works

to close the app, escape the blank with \

App("Address\ Book").close() # works

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the reason that Address Book.app and Disk Utility.app could not be closed by "App.close("")" is because the file name is not in English when the language setting has been set to Traditional Chinese.

Will this problem be fixed?

committed for Mac OSX 10.6 German.

But I think, this is because of the blank in the CFBundleDisplayName, which is the real name of the bundle folder in the folder /Applications. Finder displays the localized names instead.

The problem exists in my German OS too.

The Finder filenames of some apps like Preview, System Preferences and others are in german, but cannot be used with Sikuli's App feature, you have to use the english name.

--- How to solve the blank problem - escape the blank with \
It is weird, but works:
App("Address\ Book").focus() # does not work
wait(2)
aBook = App("Address Book") # works
aBook.focus() # opens if not open
wait(2)
aBook.close() # does not work
App("Address\ Book").close() # works

So for apps with an intervening blank you have to use 2 different strings

This is really weird!
But it works in Traditinal Chinese OS.
Thanks a lot! ^_^
