multiple (self refreshed) Preview instances

[sez]

Hello,

I would like to create an automator script that spawn few Preview windows each self refreshing over time....
Ie: lets suppose we have $@ containing 3x values (=pictures)... so I would like to have 3x Preview window each handling a single picture that get reload/refresh every second...

I tried to do something like the following but it definitely won't go any close to my goal...

for i in $@
do
tell application "Preview"
try
activate first window whose name is $i
open -n $i.png
done

Any idea/suggestion on how to move first steps ?
(Would be also possible to customize each Preview title window ?)

Thx!

Hello and welcome.

Unfortunately, that is far above my experience level with Automator/AppleScript. The folks over at MacScripter may be able to shed some light on it.
