Hi Thomas,
Hello to the list,
I need a little advice here.
I want to make a standalone that will except drag n drop. I need to know how to tell the difference between a folder, file, and application on both Macintosh and Windows based computers.
i use to check the dropped items:
on dragdrop
put the dragdata into tFiles
repeat for each line l in tFiles
if there is a file l then
## This is a file :-)
end if
if there is a folder l then
## And this is a folder :-)
end if
end repeat
...I want the user to be able to drag anything to a standalone window and then interpret what it is and create a short cut to it. I also want to treat the different types differently, so I need to know what was dropped.
set the itemdel to "." switch item -1 of tFiles case "jpg" case "jpeg" etc...
You get the picture :-)
Apps do have an "*.exe" suffix on windows and an "*.app" suffix on the mac (OS X)...
Any help on both the Mac and Win approach is appreciated.
It is almost identical on Win and Mac, except if you want to check the "FILETYPE"/"CREATORCODE"
on the mac, in case the files do NOT have a suffix...
Please also check my famous plug-in "2lz2", which also supplies drag and drop functionality
to new created stacks. Tweak the script to make it work for your needs!
Hope that helps...
Thanks
Tom
