| I am very new to AS, but have tried to create a run-only app that would allow a user to select a file or folder in the finder, click the run-only app's icon and have the file/folder's path returned to the clipboard as a clickable URL. The URL could then be sent to other users on our LAN; allowing them to quickly go-to, or open the file/folder.
Here is the current script:
tell application "Finder" set aItem to selection as alias end tell
tell application "Finder" to set theFileURL to URL of aItem set the clipboard to theFileURL
PROBLEM - "Client Work" compared to "Client Work-2"
Each user has a volume from our G5 XServe (10.4.6) / RAID that is on their desktop, and that is where these file paths lead. The volume is called "Client Work", and is a share point on the RAID.
When the script is run it will sometimes place the "-2" at the end of the volume name (I'm assuming this has to be related to the alias class specific to the machine the script is run from). So, naturally-the clickable URL errors when a user from another workstation receives the link and tries to go-to/open.
I can't find a way to get a better file path that would work regardless of what work station the script was run from, or what station is trying to click and go-to.
For now I manually edit the path.
Thanks for any help!
