I have set up a system of launching files from Explorer. (Beyond the file
types that are already registered, and beyond applications.)
One of my methods (which I quite like) was to create a pseudo-protocol and
register it in Internet control panel (I'm using OS9.1.2), associated with
my Script Appliation, and then have the script launch and handle the link
information, sort of like the Finder.
The method works fine for direct script calls (if the script app doesn't
need input), but I am having trouble passing link data to the script, as a
parameter or property or event or whatever.
I can not find a direct reference to what information (property?) is passed
along with the "open" that is sent to the script app.
For instance, in my psueduo-protocol (which works when NOT passing data, but
fails when passing data), I want to be able to access the X/Y/Z in the
following:
gary://X/Y/Z
Although I can't see the events being fired off by IE, I can imagine that
the protocol triggers some event and then passes along the X/Y/Z.
Does anyone know how to reference what is passed along?
For instance, if you were to click a URL <
ftp://some.server/path/>
I can see that my FTP client (as registered in Helper Apps) gets invoked and
then must get the "some.server/path/" information in some form.
If the helper app is an applescript application, in what form is that
information being passed?
Any guidance or reference is appreciated.
Gary
