Hi all,
I wanna control/ trigger the process of a file being handed over to a droplet- is this doable? I haven't even found a way to do this in AppleTalk or on the command line yet ... Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Cheers, S _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@... http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig |

What's a "droplet"? And since you reference AppleTalk (do you mean AppleScript), is this about Python? -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@... http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig |

Hi, droplets are little mac apps that get triggered by dragging and dropping a file on them. In my case there exists such a droplet app that creates txt output I need to infterface w/. So I wanna trigger the process of a file being dropped on the app so I get the txt output that is written to a folder, i.e. take the file and fire it off to the app ... And yes: I meant ApleScript, not Appletalk :-) Since my main application that wants to get the txt file: yes, I'd prefer a python approach to this.

If I understand correctly, you want to programatically emulate the action of dropping a file onto a droplet app. If so, probably the easiest way to do it is to use the OS X open command from the command line, so somthing like: $ open -a "/path/to/applet.app" "file-to-drop" If that works, you can easily call that from within a python program by using the old standby: os.system('open -a ...') or, if you need more control, subprocess.Popen(...). -- Ned Deily, nad@... _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@... http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig |
