Hi,

just had to deal with something similar to this yesterday.

Problem was trying to open a photoshop droplet, passing a file reference (ie
simulating a drag and drop)

Calling the photoshop droplet with a tell app "pshopdroplet"; structure
would fail it seems because of a lack of a dictionary in the droplet.

Solution:
Use the every trusty scriptable finder

---------
set app to "Mac HD:Desktop Folder:testOpenDroplet"
set myFile to "Mac HD:Desktop Folder:media:ev11656.jpg"

tell application "Finder"
open file myFile using application file app
end tell
---------

good luck
adam
