Applescript Posix

AppleScript takes paths in the classic Mac OS format, but if you need to pass it a Unix-style path, you can convert it from within AppleScript like so: tell application "Finder" activate open folder POSIX file "/path/to/folder" select item "filename" of window 1 end tell

As far as I know, there's no simple way to do that. There are some complicated ways, though. :) I often need to convert paths from one type to another with AppleScript, where it's fairly easy: return POSIX path of file "Macintosh HD:Users" --returns "/Users" ...and the reverse... return posix file "/Users" --returns file "Macintosh HD:Users" You can embed...

I don't have this dir. I do have an English.lproj folder at the root of the project folder. This seems to be the location of the files corresponding to "Resources." I copied the compiled executable to this dir and added it to the project. It does show up under Targets/My First Droplet/Bundle Resources. This is where I'm a little confused. Does this go in...
