Can a folder action script set a global property so that it's
remembered when the script is run?
property watchedFolder : ""
on adding folder items to thisWatchedFolder after receiving
theseWatchedFolderItems
global watchedFolder
set watchedFolder to (thisWatchedFolder as string)
tell application (path to me as string) to run
end adding folder items to
on run()
global watchedFolder
watchedFolder -->empty string
end
on idle()
--stuff which needs to keep on happening
end
At the moment I'm having to get the folder action to write out to
a file and then load it in the run handler - which seems kinda
pointless.
Hello
You didn't wrote which OS you are using.
10.4.1
With Panther, property are NOT stored in Folder actions scripts.
In Tiger, they are !
Hmm - which one's which again?
Anyway, maybe something of a moot point? IIRC, Folder Actions are run
as different process compared to simply double clicking an
application - so presumably namespaces are different? Where does that
leave properties and their storage?
