I'm working on an app to open user selected keynote presentations from a network location and manipulate them.
It works okay in debug, but when I build it for release Keynote can't open the file path that gets passed.
Here's the snip that works in debug (though I freely admit it seems a bit nonsensical to me):
tell application "Keynote"
set filenamePosix to POSIX path of (characters 2 thru (length of fileName) of fileName as string)
set filenamePosix to (characters 2 thru (length of filenamePosix) of filenamePosix as string) as string
open filenamePosix
end tell
fileName comes into this code as a Posix path (slash delimited) starting "\Volumes\XYZ\blah\test.key"
My code (such as it is) !
converts
it to a Mac type path (colon delimited), stripping the leading colon so that it's like "Volumes:XYZ:blah:test.key".
In debug, as I say, this works.
When I build and run the release version I get an error to the effect that
Keynote cannot read the file.
You do not have permission to read "olumes:XYZ:blah:test.key"
I've tried various flavors of substringing the filename and have gotten similar messages for "/Volumes...", ":Volumes...", and "Volumes..."
I'm new both to Mac and applescript programming - my native languages these days are VB and C#. So please be gentle.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
