>Michelle>> 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.
>>>Malcolm>>>I think you want a droplet. Get them to drop the files onto the application. The files aren't moved, they stay were they are, the droplet processes them.
FWIW, I can think several ways to run a script that accesses the finder selection that don't involve changing the finder selection. Via menus or the dock.
As for the issue raised, I'm rather interested in the solution as well. About a year ago I managed to mangle together a script that used the local IP address, combined with the file path to create a clickable URL, but I'm sure there's a better way.
