Different result running applescript in Alfred than in Applescript Editor

[jhncbrwn]

If I run the script below in Applescript Editor when VLC is not running, nothing happens, this is the result that I expect.

 

However when I run the same script as part of a workflow in Alfred, VLC Launches.

 

Any suggestions as to why the result is different in the two applications and what I need to do to get the desired result in Alfred?

--set q to "{query}"

set q to 300

set vlcrunning to ""



tell application "System Events"

if (get name of processes) contains "VLC" then

set vlcrunning to true

end if

end tell



if vlcrunning is true then

tell application "VLC"

--set audio volume to 512

set audio volume to q

end tell

end if

Thanks in advance for your help.

It behaves as expected on my machine (i.e. doesn't start VLC if it isn't running).

Hi Deanishe,

 

Thanks for checking, any idea why it doesn't behave the way it should on my machine?

Haven't the faintest idea, I'm afraid
