I would like to open Photoshop app with some arguments via launchApplicationAtURL. Photoshop is opened but the image that I specified in the parameter list is not opened.
NSWorkspace *workspace = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:imageEditorPath.GetPlatformString().c_str()];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:urlString];
//Handle url==nil
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *arguments = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"/Users/admin/q/177381.png", nil];
[workspace launchApplicationAtURL:url options:0 configuration: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:arguments forKey:NSWorkspaceLaunchConfigurationArguments] error:&error];
Referencing my comments above, one can open multiple files in an application using the NSWorkspace method openURLs:withApplicationAtURL:options:configuration:error:. If you don't need to send any arguments to the application, or set environment variables for the app, then one can simply pass NULL to the configuration: parameter. Likewise, there are a multitude of NSWorkspaceLaunchOptions available, but if none of those are desired, one can pass 0 to the options: parameter:
NSURL *appURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"file:///path/to/application.app"];
NSArray *fileURLs = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"file:///path/to/file1"],
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"file:///path/to/file2"],
nil];
NSError *err = nil;
BOOL success = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURLs:fileURLs withApplicationAtURL:appURL
options:0 configuration:NULL error:&err];
