I think Wilfredo is on this list, so he's the expert. But in my own tests, and looking at the source code, it seems that if you drag one or more files onto the droplet, the droplet will run the script with the files as arguments, and then quit. If you just double-click on the droplet, it will launch, and just wait for the user to select the Open menu item, and then run the script on that selected file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward Moy Apple Computer, Inc.
