G'day,
Is there a way to get the file path of document 1 in FreeHand MX? The FH Dictionary doesn't show anything.
I've tried a few "guess" attempts but nothing works.
Doing it the long way around I could get the name of document 1 then tell Finder to look for it and check to see if it is open - probably slow too. I'd have to account for duplicate names... sounds messy.
Still a bit messy, but a godsend nonetheless, is Freehand’s “DocReport” command.
tell application “FreeHand MX”
DocReport in file “Path:To Some:ReportFile.txt”
DocReport document “MyFile.FH11” in file “Path:To Some:ReportFile_2.txt”
End tell
This generates a text file at the specified path that includes, among other things, the path to the document, which you’ll find in the fourth paragraph. By default, it reports on document 1, but you can specify any open document.
