File Types for AppleScript scripts and Automator's workflows

[Mag]

I found a very useful and well done web page listing the main File Types you can use in answer file with type command, as you know, the parameter has to have this form: tag|extensions|filetypes

http://revolution.byu.edu/helps/file-creatorcodes.php

Unfortunately I'm searching the file typers for AppleScript's scripts and Automator's workflows, and possibly also for shell scripts files.

Any small or big help will be appreciated.

Hi Mag,

stick to file suffixes, since creator codes are slowly ceasing***
and might not be present anymore in future versions of OS X!

*** Since Snow Leopard actually:

Hi Klaus,

interesting, so how can I restrict the Answer File box to display just the AppleScript, Automator and Bash script files?

[Klaus]

Hi Mag,

not sure what the exact suffixes are for these files, but it would be something like this:
...
## just leave the last "item" (= creator code) empty
answer file "Blabla:" with type "Yadda|scpt,workflow,sh|"
...
Tested and works!

Hello Mag

try:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   answer files "Select a file:" with type "AppleScript Scripts|scpt|scpt" \
         or type "Automator Workflows|workflow|workflow" \
         or type "Shell Scripts|command|command" as sheet
end mouseUp

Cheers

Hi Rolf,

the AppleScript file worked great. For the other types I will follow the "Klaus Way".

BTW, is there a way to force the answer file command to show a particular folder path?

Hey, come on!

Dictionary: answer file

answer file[s] prompt [with defaultPath] [titled windowTitle] [as sheet]

Merci beaucoup, Thierry!

You didn't know the answer?
