If I save this as an Application I can drop .ps files on to it, or open
them with it.
However it never appears on the "Open With" context ctl-click menu -
even if I make all .PS files open with my applescript.
Hopefully a knowledgeable Apple developer will explain what we need
to do?
Would you settle for me? I can't pretend to be really knowledgeable,
but I did recently confront a similar problem.
The Applescript is saved as an "Application" - how do I make it behave
like one?
I had to make an AppleScript for use as the email client on lab
computers. Thanks to those on this list who helped me pull it off.
I would suggest changing the creator code to something unique, altering
the signature of the plst resource to the same (OS X only), and
modifying the BNDL and FREF resources to have entries for postscript. I
used the venerable ResEdit for this. Note that doing all of this can
cause some editors to no longer recognize your script application as
such. I use Smile, which pops an error message about not finding the
dictionary of my script, but otherwise deals with it well. Restart, and
see what happens.
Sincerely,
Joshua See
