launch

[Sarah Reichelt]

Tuviah reports that this problem has been fixed for OS X, but before 
that, I used this workaround before trying the "launch" command:

   if the openProcesses contains appPath then
     kill process appPath
   end if

where "appPath" is a variable containing the complete path to the 
application you wish to launch. Maybe this would work in Windows as 
well? In OS X, once Rev had launched an app, it wouldn't re-launch it 
even if the application had been quit, however this seems to be a 
workable solution and on OS X it does not actually close the 
application before re-launching.

Cheers,
Sarah
