AppleScript Programming/QuickTime full screen
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
Copy the script, paste it into ScriptEditor, and save as an application.
When you drop a movie-file on the application, it'll first check if there is more than one file dropped into the application. If more than one, then it'll note about it and end the program. Else, it'll open QuickTime and bring it on front, open the dropped movie in QT, make it full screen and start playing it.
If you start the application with double-click, it'll just give you a dialog and quit.
(*
Works only as "Drag & Drop" program.
