The full paths. To verify this, make a droplet using this script and
drop a few files on it. A file will open listing the pathnames of
the files.
#!/usr/bin/perl
$report = 'report.txt' ;
open REPORT, ">$report" ;
for (@ARGV) {
print REPORT "$_\n";
}
`open $report` ; # shell command
This script will do more, but only drop small things...
#!/usr/bin/perl
$report = 'report.txt' ;
open REPORT, ">$report" ;
for (<>) {print REPORT "$_\n";}
`open $report` ;
