Hi Christopher,

I was trying your script on my System (10.6.8) and got the impression that the "open" handler accepts (or recognises) only certain kinds of files. On my system, zip and exe and some(!) dmg files seem to be ignored; I couldn't find out yet what the difference was between accepted and ignored files with type identifier "com.apple.disk-image-udif".
My idea is that there is some preselection process to filter "which kind of file a droplet is supposed to act on", but I don't know of any documentation. I suppose this kind of filter might change between different versions of the system.

Best
Thomas

Hey Yvan,

I added some code to your script to get the contents of the droppedFiles list

Actually I already did that; I just didn't write it to a file.  Your script produces the same result on my machine as my script does.

I can't guess what but it seems that something is weird on your system.

It has already come to light (on this list in fact and on the Script Debugger list) that people other than myself are having the same problem, so it is NOT unique to my system on my machine.  The fact that you are not having the problem isn't exculpatory.

I repeat that I run 10.7.4 in French but I have some difficulties to imagine that there is a bug striking only on English systems.

It appears that you're trying to insist there is not a problem, because you (so far) have not observed it.  That is faulty logic.

At this point I'm not going to insist that the problem is in OSX, but there is more than enough evidence to demonstrate that it's more than a single-node anomaly.

I will continue trying to discover the cause.
