Satimage version 1.8.5, OS 9.2.2
From its dictionary: (script debugger)
path to application: find an application file (or application files) given a
creator type in a given volume (defined in: Satimage)
path to application string -- the creator type, a 4-characters string
[in alias] -- a path to a volume
[list all boolean] -- default false : "path to application"
returns the most recently modified application.
Result: anything -- the path to the application or a list of paths if "list
all" is true
So with this present, "path to application" took precedence over "path to
application support" for some reason. I placed the parens around
"application support" as suggested and it worked just fine.
Thanks everyone.

Which version of Satimage is this? I don't see a 'path to application' in

mine (4.5.9) and I have no problem with 'path to application support' in
