thanks martin and jake,
Just a remark,
when using right click I have the extension .zip
when I use this script I get extension .cpgz
is there a special reason why?
I make more sense to me with extension .zip (this is PC compatible, I don't know for .cpgz...)
This is the drag and drop script:
on open these_items
try
tell application "BOMArchiveHelper" to open these_items
on error
display dialog "This script only works with Panther"
end try
end open
But I want this:
how can I use this in a loop/variable..... I don't get it to work...
also when the compression is done the file has to move to an other folder....
repeat with temp_file in file_list
set FileName to name of temp_file
set stuff_name to quoted form of FileName as string
tell application "BOMArchiveHelper" to open stuff_name
end tell
end repeat
this is a piece what I had using the stuff option:
set stuffcom to "cd " & file_list_path & ";stuff -D " & stuff_name & "; mv *.sit " & movepath & ""
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script stuffcom
end tell
But here I have problems closing/quiting the terminal window after every compression
best regards,jan
