I am trying to create an application with the only purpose to implement a Applescript dictionary, and extend Applescript. I have read of faceless applications (agents), but my application allows Applescript scripts to show some dialog boxes.

What can I do to avoid my application icon appears in the dock when it is invoked by Applescript?

Agent applications can show dialog boxes if they want to.

The Agent overview here mentions this.

To set it specify LSUIElement as 1 in your info.plist file.

  • I checked an utility I had installed in my Mac, and I notice it uses the same trick to not show an icon in the dock. I am not sure it can be called agent, but setting that property effectively works. – apaderno Jun 27 '10 at 00:31
