Launch app on USB event (OS X)

[Mindflow]

Hi there,

on my Canon scanner there are several buttons that launch some application when they are pressed.
Has anyone managed to reproduce this behavior with V-USB? I'd like to build some button that just starts an application on OS X.
I know USB overdrive but this does not exactly fit my requirements.

If anyone could give me a hint, that would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Florian

I'm pretty sure either you can make your device a HID keyboard with additional application keys, or write a background process as a "driver" and make it launch programs.
