Hi all,

quick question LC 9.5 on macOS 10.14.6:

We can drag'n'drop text into textfields and 
this works without any scripting.

We can also drag'n'drop one or more files into 
a textfield and the filepath appears in the field 
where we dropped the file(s).

However there does not seem to be any message 
send to the field when dropping a file, but I want 
to catch it.

I tried something like:
--------------------------------
on selectionChanged
  send "doit" to me in 10
end selectionChanged

command doit
  put the selection
end doit
--------------------------------
However I can see the pathname is selected but nothing
appears in the messagebox.

What am I missing or what should I do instead?

Thanks in advance!


Best

Klaus
