Re: Making a 'droplet' application?

[Sarah Reichelt]

You will need to set up an AppleEvent handler in your stack script that 
recognises when a document is dropped on it, gets the name of the 
document(s) and processes them. You may also need to set up a defined 
file type. I think there have been discussions about this on the list 
in the past, so search the archives as well as checking the docs for 
AppleEvent.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I'm making a workflow app to batch process files.  With the help of 
the list archives I've got my head around drag and drop so that a list 
of files from the Finder can be dragged into a field, then every item 
in the field gets processed-

on dragDrop
        set the text of me to the dragData["files"]
        --call the function that does the processing at this point
end dragDrop
What I would like to do is make this even more transparent by dropping 
files onto the app icon, in the same way that you can with AppleScript 
droplets.  I can't see anything in the docs or list about this, and am 
wondering if it is even possible with Rev 2.1.2.

Workaround- make an AppleScript droplet that takes the list of dropped 
files and launches the Rev app, but this is kind of inelegant...
