Hi,
droplets are little mac apps that get triggered by dragging and dropping a file on them.
In my case there exists such a droplet app that creates txt output I need to infterface w/.
So I wanna trigger the process of a file being dropped on the app so I get the txt output that is written to a folder, i.e. take the file and fire it off to the app ...
And yes: I meant ApleScript, not Appletalk :-)
Since my main application that wants to get the txt file: yes, I'd prefer a python approach to this.
Cheers,
S
