Hi Ken,

But i think it is worth mentioning that this will only DISPLAY the
correct filepath. You cannot use that correct filepath in Rev in
any way!
True! Thanks for the reminder...
Example:
Path returned by Rev:
/Users/klaus/Desktop/Widerspruch und Klag#51BF4F.pdf
stsLongFilePath:
/Users/klaus/Desktop/Widerspruch und Klage - S 11 AS 105.pdf
"launch document xyz" will only work with the first "crippled" path
returned by Rev (with drag and drop or "Answer file"), NOTHING
will happen with the second and "correct" path.
Actually, "answer file" returns the long path (uncrippled)...
oh, yes, sorry.
it appears
that only drag and drop returns a crippled path. And you can always
use
"open" through the shell instead of launch to open a file with a
long path
as a workaround.
Sure, but that was only an example!
You cannot use "shell" to set the filename of a player ;-)
This is a very long known bug (Bugzilla: 396, 08/20/2003!) and does
affect ALL file
handling actions in Rev on OS X, especially player objects and is a
real shwostopper
in my opinion. This bug is also related to path names with umlauts/
accents etc...
Agreed... even though there are some workarounds,
especially the wonderful solution of Thierry Arbellot, chapeau
monsieur! :-)
But that also fails with long filenames.
it is desperately
important that ALL of these path-related things get fixed. In fact,
drag-and-drop should return a long file path just like 'answer
file' does so
there shouldn't be a need to go out to AppleScript to handle that
Essato/Exactement/Exactly/Genau! :-)
