I get the error code: System Events got an error: Can't get application of "Application Name" during this line
repeat with currentWindow in every window of application foregroundApp
of this code
on run
tell application "System Events"
set foregroundApps to displayed name of (every process whose background only is false) as list
repeat with foregroundApp in foregroundApps
set appName to foregroundApp as text
if exists (window 1 of process appName) then
repeat with currentWindow in every window of application foregroundApp
end repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
end run
I'm guessing I'm missing something like
set x to foregroundApp as y
repeat with currentWindow in every window of application x
How do I get the windows of the application foreground app?

I'm made a script that iterates through all windows and restores minimized windows. However, the script is quite slow. I'm wondering how to speed it up. I believe part of why the code is so slow is that it's looking at every process instead of every foreground process. Is it possible to do something like "repeat with p in every foreground process" or speed up this script through other means?
on run {input, parameters}
set windowNames to {}
tell application "System Events"
repeat with p in every process
repeat with w in every window of p
if value of attribute "AXMinimized" of w is true then
set value of attribute "AXMinimized" of w to false
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
end run
I'm trying to modify this code to work iteratively:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application id "com.apple.systemevents" to set the value of
attribute "AXMinimized" of every window of every process
to false
end run
Something along the lines of :
on run {input, parameters}
foreach windows of every process
tell application id "com.apple.systemevents" to set the value of
attribute "AXMinimized"
to false
end run
Is this possible?
