It wouldn't be their doing -- I'd have to send it to them first. :)
They have a great tools repository at
<http://www.RunRev.com/revolution/developers/developerdownloads/usercontribu
tions.html> and are quick about posting new submissions.
I just hadn't thought of uploading it there. All I did was find a snippet
off the Web and modified it for the Rev type code, and then compiled it to a
droplet:
on open theList
tell application "Finder"
set selectionLength to number of items of selection
if selectionLength = 0 then
say "Nothing is [[emph +]] selected."
else
-- first change all the files selected
set the creator type of every file of selection to "Revo"
set the file type of every file of selection to "RSTK"
end if
end tell
end open
While this works great in OS 9 it fails in OS X, providing the "Nothing is
selected" feedback.
Hopoefully one of you AppleScript gurus can explain: Why would the method
by which I'm obtaining the file list work perfectly in Classic but not in OS
X?
