[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1824334, member: 131855"] The Catalina beta seems to break some Automator-based applications / Applescripts, Those written by professional programmers might fare better but things written by folks like me are likely to break. I reached that conclusion based on the following: Some time ago I built an Automator-based application that, when run, launched iTunes and started playing a specific playlist. In a few minutes I created several of these mini apps that simply launched iTunes and played a different playlist. Under Catalina those mini apps break because each one uses two different Automator actions that reference iTunes by name. I suspect there are other actions that will break for similar reasons. There might be an equivalent action in the new Automator but I haven't checked that out yet. [/QUOTE]
