re-check what Cool Geex Said On 12-27-2009 : it works

This my first time making a script, but I think this is it:

tell application “Finder” to set tProcesses to name of processes
if (tProcesses does not contain “Google Chrome”) then
do shell script “open -a Google\\ Chrome –args -incognito”
end if

tell application “System Events”
if (tProcesses contains “Google Chrome”) then
tell application “Google Chrome”
activate
end tell
tell process “Google Chrome”
click menu item “New Incognito Window” of menu “File” of menu bar 1
end tell
end if
end tell

the 2 includes should be
stdio.h
unistd.h

1) mv “/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome” “/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleChrome”

2) compile this C code, to “/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome”
===============
#include
#include

int main () {
execl(“/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleChrome”, “GoogleChrome”, “–incognito”, (char *)0 );
return 0;
}
===============

3) now google chrome will launch in incognito all the time, without adding extra useless icons in the dock.

note new window and reclicking on the dock icon will launch plain windows, no work around for that.

tell application “Finder” to set tProcesses to name of processes
if (tProcesses does not contain “Google Chrome”) then
do shell script “open -a Google\\ Chrome –new –args -incognito”
end if

You can also remove the following code from the script:
tell menu bar item “Window”
tell menu “Window”
click menu item “Google”
end tell
end tell

tell menu bar item “File”
tell menu “File”
click menu item “Close Window”
end tell
end tell

*But remember it will not close the first window.

Also, I tried all that methods on Snow Leopard, If you are running Leopard it might be different.
I’ll try to find the right way for Leopard and update the post.

Chrome: 4.0.249.43 (up to date)

I also visited your previous link and tried using that Mac method. The script was entered and compiled, and while pressing Run did open a new Incognito window, the script wouldn’t work, and I got the error:

System Events got an error: Can’t get menu item “Google” of menu “Window” of menu bar item “Window” of menu bar 1 of process “Google Chrome”.

That’s the error I received after downloading your app. The very same error occurs when I try to manually write the scripts. ‘args’ appearing with one ‘-’ is just the chat, on my screen it appeared with two.

If you don’t want to download the App, just make sure that you write the code and that there’s 2 minus characters before new and args.
Terminal: open -a Google\ Chrome --new --args -incognito
Script Editor: do shell script "open -a Google\\ Chrome --new --args -incognito"

Good Luck
