still having a problem with path or filename from 2.8 to 2.9

[Mark Schonewille]

Tiemo,

I had a look at your stack, pressed the Select Picture button, but  
didn't choose any picture because this is too cumbersome a way to do  
such a task.

Why don't you simply use the answer file command?

Looking at your script, I noticed that you don't set the default  
folder and you don't check whether the file actually exists.

The following script works perfectly fine for me on my Mac:

on mouseUp
   answer file "" with type "PNG|png|PNGf" or type "GIF|gif|GIFf" or  
type "JPEG|jpg|JPEG"
   if it is not empty then set the filename of img 1 to it
   put it
end mouseUp

Above script still works fine in a standalone.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
