I would like to be able to get the folder my applescript is located in.

How can I do that?

set myFolder to ( get folder ... )

tell application "Finder" to set c to container of (path to me)

That does not work for scripts that are run from Script Editor; it returns the path to the script editor, and not to the script file.


It does work if the script is saved as an application or if the script is run from the script menu.
