I know I could save the file to disk and then issue an open command but that
would leave a copy on the disk. Is it possible to present the file from Rev so
that the program (Word, etc.) would be able to open it directly without saving
it to disk first?
The following example writes the file from the custom property to disk and then
launches it:
on mouseUp
put the uFileStore of button "Save File" into URL "binfile:ScreenShot.png"
set the filetype to ""
launch document "ScreenShot.png"
end mouseUp
Is there a way to skip the writing to disk part and just open it directly?
If it is another stack, then Rev can open it from memory. Otherwise, no.
The usual solution is to write to the temp directory, with an obscure
name if you want, and then delete the file later when you're done with it.
