Hi Mark, What is the best way, on a Mac, to get the path to the various files included in a Rev distribution. So assuming there is Rev 2.8.1, 2.9, 3.0 etc. installed on a Mac, and without necessarily running the version of Rev, how would you find say the revdb.so for a particular version of Rev?
For example, on a PC, you would just go down a directory tree. So for Rev 3.0, on PC this file would be found in ... \Revolution Enterprise\3.0.0-gm-3\Runtime\Linux\x86-32\Externals\ Aloha from Hawaii, Jim Bufalini > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:use-revolution- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Schonewille > Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 6:37 AM > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: obtaining application paths > > Hi Sims, > > If you know the creator type of the application, you can use the > AppleScript syntax: > > set thePath to application file id "RSED" as text > > An example, which I used in the days of HyperCard, can be found at > <http://runrev.info/ResEdits%20location%20AS.htm > >. > > -- > Best regards, > > Mark Schonewille > > Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering > http://economy-x-talk.com > http://www.salery.biz > Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum > > Snapper Screen Recorder is now available for Windows!
