## Is this a replacement for SIMBL?

Yes, this is SIMBL-lite tailored specifically for TotalSpaces.

## BATSinit event

Installs TotalSpaces.bundle into running Spaces.app (/Applications/TotalSpaces.app is just a wrapper app for this script)

    tell application "Dock"

        -- give Dock some time to launch if it wasn't running (rare case)

        delay 1 -- this delay is important to prevent random "Connection is Invalid -609" AppleScript errors 

        try

            «event BATSinit»

        on error msg number num

            display dialog "Unable to launch TotalSpaces." & msg & " (" & (num as text) & ")"

        end try

    end tell

## BATSchck event

Check if TotalSpaces is present in running Dock image.

    tell application "Dock"

        -- give Spaces some time to launch if it wasn't running (rare case)

        delay 1 -- this delay is important to prevent random "Connection is Invalid -609" AppleScript errors 

        try

            «event BATSchck»

            set res to "present"

        on error msg number num

            set res to "not present"

        end try

        res

    end tell
