Who’d have thought something from apple would have such a steep learning curve?
I want to drag myfile.mov onto a droplet and have the droplet create a folder called “myfile.mov.frames”
also, is there a good basic AS reference online?
thanks,
sam

See this thread (which could have been easily found by searching for “quicktime export”):

Thanks Jon, looks like the info I need is there (even though I’m not doing a “quicktime export”).
-sam
on open theFile
set DestinationFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose Destination Folder")
tell application "Finder"
set Filename to (name of (info for theFile))
set FoldersName to (Filename & ".frames") as string
make new folder at DestinationFolder with properties {name:FoldersName}
end tell
end open
You can substitute a path in the form
“YourDiskName:Path:To:Folder”
for the choose folder portion of the code if you want the folder created in the same place everytime.

Ah, thank you!
I was trying (name of theFile) instead of (name of (info for theFile))
Thanks guys,
