developing droplets in script editor is a pain because if you operate as a droplet the normal debugging methods are closed.

However ,it is possible to supply a run handler that calls the open handler. However, manually entering file aliasen is also a pain though a lesser on. I have produced a droplet that will provide a run handler that will call the open handler with a proper list of file aliasen

save the below script as an application, the handler is saved to a file and also to the clipboard.

Oh, and you will want to make your own run handler, you don't have those files and I don't think the line breaks will survive.

-- Next line starts a multiline statement

-- provided as a debugging aid only; use in a production

--environment voids liscense

-- distribute only with this msg carefully noting any changes

set filestr to "on run

open ({"

-- cycle thru files buiding up the list as text so we can export it.

set needComma to ""

repeat with eye in filelist

set filestr to filestr & needComma & "\"" & (eye as text) & "\"" & " as alias "

set needComma to ","

end repeat

set filestr to filestr & "})

end run"

do shell script "echo filestr >> ~/test/test"

-- put the "on run Handler on the clipboard as well as the file

tell application "Script Editor" to set the clipboard to filestr

end open

--- This program eats its own dog food; it produced its own run handler!

on run

open ({"Macintosh HD imac:Users:walter:Music:CWII2075" as alias, "Macintosh HD imac:Users:walter:Music:CWII2065" as alias, "Macintosh HD imac:Users:walter:Music:CWII2055" as alias, "Macintosh HD imac:Users:walter:Music:CWII2025" as alias, "Macintosh HD imac:Users:walter:Music:CWII2035" as alias, "Macintosh HD imac:Users:walter:Music:CWII2045" as alias})

end run
