| I exclusively use Smile to edit scripts, so I've never noticed this before. Yesterday, I needed to quickly modify a script. Smile was not available (new system), so I used ASE. When I drag & drop a file into a Smile script document, I get …
alias "OS_X:Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:some file.rtf"
I wanted the same thing in ASE, but got …
/Users/lutherfuller/Desktop/some file.rtf
which is very undesirable. This happens in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks and probably in earlier systems. I have looked for a preference to change this behavior, but found none.
The only work-around seems to be to open a new window in ASE, then drag & drop the file to get the posix path, then edit and run this …
POSIX file "/Users/lutherfuller/Desktop/some file.rtf" the result as alias
to get the desired result in the ASE Event Log, then copy and paste.
Does anyone know more about this ? Is there a better work-around ?
