hi,

i am relatively new to applescript and was wondering if anyone knows how to either set up a browse button or drag and drop ability to select a path to a folder into a text field? i guess what i’m asking is how do i set up folder selection like what is used in rsyncx?

thanks,

Both can be done. Drag and drop is more complicated and takes a bit of work, but Apple has documented it both on their developer web site, and in your /Developer directory.

The browse button is really as simple as calling the choose folder standard addition.
