Hi,

I have this script that if I drop an image on it all is well. But if I try to "run" it (from an open GraphicConverter window" I get errors. I'm sure that i'm not making the "droppedItem" into the right class or whatever.

What conversion am I missing?

on run
tell application "GraphicConverter"
delay 2
set droppedItem to window name of window 1
end tell
open {droppedItem}
end run

on open (droppedItem)
…


Hello

droppeditem is a name.

You can't open a file with its name, you need its full pathname.

Obviously I'm for getting another of my many lessons…

this isn't the answer;

tell application "GraphicConverter"
activate
delay 2
set droppedItem to get path of window 1
end tell

As far as I know, there is no path property attached to a window.
To get this info you must ask for the file of this window.

tell application "GraphicConverter"
activate
delay 2
set droppedItem to get file of window 1
end tell

CAUTION, I have its dictionary but don't have the application GraphicConverter
so I don't know if it returns the path as a string or as an alias.
Maybe it's an Unix path (slash delimiters).
