Sorry, I wasn't completely clear in my post. I do understand that I
won't be using "startup disk". I'm also now just hardcoding the path.
I've found that:
--
tell application "Finder"
set gTheDir to "Volumes:200GB:on_demand" as file specification
end tell
--
... works. Thanks for getting me going; your post was helpful.
Bob
tell application "Finder" to set startup_disk to startup disk as text
global theDir
set gTheDir to startup_disk &
":Library:QuickTimeStreaming:Movies:on_demand" as file specification
I need to change the location to another drive. Is the following
the correct syntax?
set gTheDir to startup_disk & "Volumes:200GB:on_demand" as file
specification
--
No, because the other drive is not within the startup disk hierarchy.
This works:
tell application "Finder"
set targetDisk to (disk 2 as text)
-- or whatever disk number or name you wish
end tell
set gTheDir to targetDisk & "library" as file specification
-- change the folder hierarchy as needed
