Well uh yeah maybe. Other than the no control over options is there
a problem using DropStuff if all one wants to do is stuff the items
passed in an alias list using DropStuff's current settings?
It's not going to flake out or die or anything, right? It's your
basic drag and drop to dropstuff which is all I need to do most of
the time (although I do it by hand, not by script).
In the original script it looked like all they were doing was creating
a new archive containing a single file and they made no reference to
any other terminology or specific settings. It seems to me that if
no frills are needed sending to DropStuff would be the way to go.
Nothing against Stuffit Commands Osax of course. But given the
posted script it didn't seem necessary.
