When the app is recieving a drag it should be able to get pretty easily the file creator and the file type within the drag recieving routine. Use those and if none are present, then use the file extension as not all file (and far from that hopefully) have a file extension.

Using the File creator and file type is much more robust than using file extension for your purpose.

Hi there,

Still working on this scriptable app. There's interest in having the ability to drop scripts on the app, or on parts of its GUI. The lead programmer is interested in accepting text files (containing applescript text) as well as compiled scripts.

Actually the app already does this, but it's also going to be possible and meaningful to drop text files onto the app, which will have some other effect altogether than executing the contents as an applescript.


He's asking whether there's an existing filename extension, like .scr or .as or some such, which would act as a flag to this kind of action.

My take is that the app should ONLY accept compiled scripts.

Does this sound reasonable?
