Yes, there is... here's my stsLongFilePath function in action:
on dragDrop
put the dragdata["files"] into tPath
put stsLongFilePath(tPath) after fld 1 -- or
end dragDrop
function stsLongFilePath pPath
switch (the platform)
case "MacOS" -- assumes OS X
put "set tPath to" && quote & pPath & quote & cr & \
"set tPath to (POSIX file tPath) as string" & cr & \
"POSIX path of tPath" into tScript
do tScript as "AppleScript"
return (char 2 to -2 of the result) -- strips quotes
break
case "Win32"
return the longFilePath of pPath
break
end switch
end stsLongFilePath
Enjoy!
