I want to have the ability to make a default selection and an optional selection.
The default selection is actually "use the Finder front
window", the optional selection would be "ask the user for a
target folder".
The problem I have is to make the differentiation at
AppleScript run time. In another language I use, I check the fn
key at image file drop and fill the window with a reduced (or
expanded) copy of the image.
What I want to do here with AppleScript is something like:
if the Option Key is down then
ask the user to choose a folder -- set Source_Folder to choose folder
else
set Source_Folder to target of front window as alias
end if
How can I wrote the "if the Option Key is down then" part ?
Please, do not tell me to use display dialog as the original code (an AppleScript source example)
has.
I suspect from your text that what you are looking for is the
Jon's Commands.osax which you can find here -
<http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/>. You'll want the Jon's
Commands X 3.0d3 version.

if (keys pressed) contains "Option" then
say "The Option key was pressed"
else
say "The Option key was not pressed"
end if
