I need to write a small application (very small) that does a few simple
things that could work great from a compiled AppleScript but for the
fact that "application" applescript's have a resource fork and can't be
made part of a package file.
So, I suppose I need to use AppleScriptStudio - so be it. However, all
the examples are COMPLEX compared to what I need which is for the
application to start up, issue a few simple applescript message to
finder and quit. No window, no menu's (if possible) - no nothing.
Just a bundle of flat (datafork only) files that, when double-clicked,
sends a few commands to finder. I tried creating a new
applescriptstudio application and putting:
on run
tell finder to ..
end run
in it. That didn't work. Then I replaced run with launched. This
didn't do anything either. The debugger appears to be useless for this
simplest stuff.
Is this possible?
It is a damn shame that Mac OS X won't allow me to double-click a
(unix) executable shell file and run it in a window for me. That would
have done just fine!
Cheers and thanks! - Yossie
