Guess what? - Apparently you cannot grab list of all windows for a process (through - 'System Events') if that process has fullscreen windows. Set PID to proc's unix id - I needed to figure out if this is the instance of Zathura with the - file on hand. Tell application 'System Events ' set zathuraProcList to a reference to ( every process whose name is 'zathura ') On activate_open_instance( win_title, is_first_time) Set this_text to the item_list as string set AppleScript's text item delimiters to '' return this_text Set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string Set the item_list to every text item of this_text Set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string it's not even funny, I couldn't figure out the proper way of unqotting a - string in applescript with quoted form of POSIX path, so I did this instead on replace_chars( this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
