I found the following handler on the forum for launching an OSX application when an associated file is double clicked
on appleEvent pClass,pID local tFiles if pClass is "aevt" and pID is "odoc" then request appleEvent data put it into tFiles ## files OS is requesting your application opens, one per line if tFiles is not "not found" and tFiles is not empty then openDB line 1 of tFiles end if else pass appleEvent end if end appleEvent I put that into the script of the first card of my application's main stack. openDB is a handler in my main stack script. Built the standalone and associated a file with my application then double clicked it. My application opened but did not open the file. I added some answer commands to the appleEvent handler including one right at the beginning, re-built the application and tried again but nothing was displayed. It appears the apple event is never reaching my application. Maybe the code I found is out of date somehow? This is on Yosemite. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
