A very deep thank you to those that replied to my question about FileXtra3.
I'm up and running on the windows side now (I never thought I'd love that C
prompt so much), but am having a problem getting the name of the main Mac
volume into the path to tell FileXtra3 where to create the new folder and
save the subsequent files. Here is the script I'm using modified slightly
from what I was given:
On MouseUp
noFX = xtra("FileXtra3").new()
put noFX.fx_FolderGetSpecialPath("kDesktopFolderType")
-- "Name of Primary Drive":Desktop Folder
noFX = 0
boFX = xtra("FileXtra3").new()
put boFX.fx_FolderExists("Mac HD:Desktop Folder:newFolder")
-- 0
put boFX.fx_FolderCreate("Mac HD:Desktop Folder:newFolder")
-- 1
boFX = 0
End
FolderGetSpecialPath is getting the path for me and I can do a few things
with it except get it into the nameOfMacHD:DF place on the FolderExists and
FolderCreate functions. I tried some things I thought should work and a
number of things I knew wouldn't, but am still in the dark. It seems very
picky as to what goes in those parenthesis. I tried setting some variables,
but I don't have much experience in that area.
Any suggestions?
Thank you again for all your help and I hope I can repay the favor one day.
