Hello.
I’m very new to Applescript studio and have a question that’s probably simple to answer, but I can’t seem to figure it out.
I have been using the browser examples in the developer folder.
What I want is to get the file path of the selected file in the browser window, so I can do some useful things with it.
The only changes I did was to insett this lines with code in the end:
on clicked theObject
display dialog selected cell of theObject of browser “browser” of window “main” as string
end clicked
This gave me an error.
I’ve tried all kinds of methods to do this but nothing seems to work.
Any help and examples would be great.
Thanks in advance
The browser script:
(* ==== Properties ==== *)
property diskNames : {}
(* ==== Event Handlers ==== *)
– Initialize various items here
on launched theObject
tell application “Finder”
set diskNames to name of every disk as list
end tell
set path separator of browser "browser" of window "main" to ":"
tell browser "browser" of window "main" to update
end launched
– Return the number of rows for the given column
on number of browser rows theObject in column theColumn
set rowCount to 0
if (count of diskNames) > 0 then
if theColumn is 1 then
set rowCount to count of diskNames
else
tell browser "browser" of window "main"
set thePath to path for column theColumn - 1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set rowCount to count of items of item thePath
end tell
end if
end if
return rowCount
end number of browser rows
– This is called whenever a cell in the browser needs to be displayed.
on will display browser cell theObject row theRow browser cell theCell in column theColumn
if theColumn > 1 then
tell browser “browser” of window “main”
set thePath to path for column theColumn
end tell
end if
tell application "Finder"
if theColumn is 1 then
set cellContents to displayed name of disk (item theRow of diskNames as string)
set isLeaf to false
else
set theItem to item theRow of item thePath
if class of theItem is folder or class of theItem is disk then
set isLeaf to false
else
set isLeaf to true
end if
set cellContents to (displayed name of theItem as string)
end if
end tell
set string value of theCell to cellContents
set leaf of theCell to isLeaf
end will display browser cell
(** my code under **)
on clicked theObject
display dialog selected cell of theObject of browser “browser” of window “main” as string
end clicked
