Thanks Jon. That doesn't work. The rubyscript uses this at the beginning: $SELECT_APP_PATH = "SelectAppDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/SelectAppDialog"
It looks like $SELECT_APP_PATH is the path of the file as sent by another aspect of the Dropzone app. I was thinking of just copying the rubyscript to Quicksilver's Actions folder and editing it so that $SELECT_APP_PATH reflects whatever is in the first pane of QS. It seems like it ought to be simple: get applescript to send the path to the RS some way or another? Paul On Apr 12, 2013, at 1:17 PM, Jon Stovell <[email protected]> wrote: > Try this.
