Edit: Nevermind...I deleted the action and re-added it, and it works as expected, now.

The first action I have in an automator app is to "Open Application", and it's set to "Terminal.app". However, every time I run the program, it never starts by opening Terminal.app, and instead always gives me a popup window with Terminal.app selected, but as part of a drop down where I could choose from any of the other Applications.

Is it possible to have it simply open Terminal without having it open a drop down list every time?

Thanks for any help!

Just out of interest, why are you opening Terminal? I’m sure there are some valid reasons, but if you just want to run a shell script or command then there’s a separate action for that (probably called “run shell script” - can’t check as I’m without my Mac at the moment)
