Close but no cigar. It seems to me that the property really_quit is reset every time. So as soon as I drop something on it, the really_quit is made true and when it reaches the end of the loop is quits, even if I had set it to false in the on-run handler. I need some other way of holding a variable during the session :-/

Is there a good way to make a script quit when it was started with drag-and-drop, but stay open if it was started by double clicking?

Sure, Craig - although you'd also need to consider a way to let the user quit when required (short of a force-quit). The following method, which should obviously be saved as a stay-open app, uses a second double-click (reopen) to give the user that option:


--------

property really_quit : true

on open some_list
	(* do something with some_list *)
	if really_quit then quit
end open

on reopen
	display dialog "Quit this application?"
	set really_quit to true
	quit
end reopen

on run
	set really_quit to false
end run

--------

Another way would be to place the conditional statement in a quit handler:

--------

property really_quit : true

on open some_list
	(* do something with some_list *)
	quit
end open

on reopen
	display dialog "Quit this application?"
	set really_quit to true
	quit
end reopen

on quit
	if really_quit then continue quit
end quit

on run
	set really_quit to false
end run

--------
