The location of LiveCode.app

Hi,
I am on a Mac and I am trying to find out how to find out the location of LiveCode.app.
The LiveCode application will change location frequently so "/Applications/LiveCode.app" will not do.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
this is very strange ... mine is still under
/Applications but, obviously, under different names, following the release version (
LiveCode 5.5.0.app, LiveCode 6.1.0.app, LiveCode 6.1.1.app ... and so on)

HI Andrew,
you cannot get this directly but try this:
Code: Select all
function where_is_the_app
put revEnvironmentToolsPath() into tPath
set itemdel to "/"
delete item -2 to -1 of tPath
return tPath
end where_is_the_app
Tested and works
Hint: This will only work in the IDE!
Best
Klaus
