Hello, I have a question concerning ApplescriptObjC that is either impossible to answer, or I am really bad at finding existing solutions. Here's what I need help with:
1. I need to create a table that will accept files dropped onto it, and list them in the table.
2. I need the ability to reorder files in the table.
3. I need the files to be acted upon by a different function when a button is pressed, and the files would need to be acted upon in the order that they are listed in the table. in other words,
the file paths would need to be copied out of the table in the order that they are listed so that I could do some additional work with them.
Here's what I've found so far by following Shane Stanley's "ApplescriptObjC Explored" books and by searching the internet:
1. I've found how to create a table and populate it when an app is launched.
2. I've found that it's possible to reorder the items listed in a table.
3. I've found it's possible to drag entries from one table to another.
4. I've found that selected items in a table can be acted upon.
Here's what the internet turned up:
1. Questions very similar to mine have been asked many times.
2. Many of the questions remain unanswered.
3. When they are answered, the answers are incomplete, and even though they fill in the missing pieces for the people who originally asked the questions, they don't contain enough information
for me to solve my problem.
I'm not a computer programmer, just a corporate employee who learned Applescript, then FaceSpan, then with some difficulty Applescript Studio, and now with a great deal of difficulty ApplescriptObjC. It would
be awesome if someone could come up with a step by step guide to accomplishing what I outlined above. I think many people would benefit.
Thank you,
Garry
