Title: Re: Directory referencing conventions
On 20.4.2006 11:13, entity "Jack Crombie" <email@hidden> spake thus:

Hi Everyone,
Being relatively new to all this I'm still learning conventions and syntax just by trying it. I'd like to know how to modify an alias to reference the parent directory.

I have the current folder structure


"~:Jobs:0000007:Portraits:JPEGs:"

In my script I am requesting the user set both the "Portraits" and "JPEGs" directories separately. Here's my current script:

set auftragFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select Auftrag Folder"
set compositeImageFolderName to "PSDs"
set inputFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select Bilder Folder"

These folders return a list of files for photoshop to process.
I want to enforce the directory structure and also the workflow but without hard coding directories.

In windows (cringe) i would've just put in "\..\"
What is the equivalent in AS.

Thanks in advance for answering my trivial questions.

Jack Crombie

tell application "Finder" to set PortraitFolder to container of JPEGFolder —assuming JPEGFolder has been defined by a “choose folder” or hard coded
