Hello everyone,
Is there a path anywhere on OSX that is always the same on every OSX
machine?
I need to pick up a file that has been exported from FileMaker and move it
with an applescript. Since this file will be distributed over many OSX
machines with different users etc., I need a location I can rely on always
being there.
Use the startup disk.
I just did this using FMP v5 on OS X.
create new FMP script -- export
- fmp
Export ["FMP_rubbish.txt"] <-- save to startup disk
- fmp
run the script --> FMP_rubbish.txt created on volume "Hogg"
Move to OS 9 machine on the desk behind me
run the script --> FMP_rubbish.txt created on volume "Aunty"
Phone cohort downstairs, ask them to run script
run the script --> FMP_rubbish.txt created on volume "Macintosh HD"
