Also trying this and still not getting anywhere:
( Dropbox does exist in my home folder )
set homeFolder to (path to home folder from user domain)
tell application "Finder"
set someFolder to (folder "Dropbox" of homeFolder) as alias
set dest to someFolder
end tell
So far, we have ...
set homeFolder to (path to home folder from user domain)
tell application "Finder"
set dest to (folder "Dropbox" of homeFolder) as alias
end tell
display dialog dest as string
Note the change I made. The 'set dest to ...' line will error if the
folder "Dropbox" does not exist in the specified location. If that's
where you want the new internet locator file saved, then you WILL
have to create this folder manually.
Hooray, so it is working. Now I have a new issue, which is the
Dropbox is shared across many machines, and of course, .webloc files
still use resource forks, which are not cross platform, let alone able
to move across non Mac volumes.
Here is where I am at now, and would like to save the url into a .url
file:
set dest to (path to home folder from user domain as text) &
"Dropbox:" & "URLs"
tell application "Safari"
set curl to URL of document 1
set dnam to name of document 1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
make new internet location file at dest to curl with properties
{name:dnam}
end tell
So, right where I am making the new internet location file, I need to
instead save a text file, as filename of dname & ".url" with the data
in the file being:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://theurl.exampple.com
I will give it a go, any help will be appreciated.
