thank you, also tried that, but then the pathname does not appear in the field.

I want to:
Drag'n'Drop a file into the field -> works without scripting
The pathname appears in the field and is definitively selected!

However "the selectedtext of fld xyz" is reported to be empty
so is "the selection" and "the selectedchunk" returns the insertion point
right BEFORE the file has been dropped -> char 75 to 74 of fld xyz

I want to get that pathname from inside of the field = AFTER the file has been dropped.


Best

Klaus
