Uhm, yeah.   I think I'd go with two different droplets instead. :)


Another way is to move the dialog into a separate run handler: Double clicking on the droplet calls the run handler, which sets a property for the default format. Dropping a file calls the open handler, which sets the clipboard according to the default format property.

The goal was to get the pathname of a file or folder onto the clipboard.

The solution was simple:
on open {dropped_item}
tell application "Finder" to set the clipboard to the dropped_item as text
end open


The solution, after creeping-featuritis:
property Default_button : "Macintosh format"
on open {dropped_item}
set the display_format to button returned of (display dialog "Which format
do you want the file path in?" with title "Choose display format" buttons
{"Cancel", "Unix format", "Macintosh format"} default button Default_button)
set the Default_button to the display_format
if the display_format is "Unix format" then set the dropped_item to the
POSIX path of the dropped_item
tell application "Finder" to set the clipboard to the dropped_item as text
end open
