Hi Thierry,
On Mac, a file type is expected, while on Windows a file extension is
expected. You need to check the platform and then use the right command.
For example, for Mac:
answer file "Choose a ICS file..." with filter "ICS,ICS "
I have put a space after the ICS file type, because file types always
have to be 4 characters long. The first item in the filter is just a
command, which appears in a menu if you use multiple filters.
On Windows:
answer file "Choose a ICS file..." with filter "ICS,*ics".
A much easier way is to use the answer file with type command:
answer file "" with type "ICS|*ics|ICS "
This form can be used on both Mac and Windows. Note the space after
the file type again.
