bret10 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Heres the scenario... I want to have FM open an image file with a photoshop droplet.exe for processing. The Send Event Script seems to only allow opening of a file OR an application. I want both, open a specific file with a specific app. how do I set this up? More background... the container field with FM 8 creates only references to the file or adds the entire file. both options are extremely slow for an image archive. as referenced images take forever to load across a network. especially when I list multiple (5 or more) So I want to set up a Photoshop droplet to accept the file, resize it, copy to clipboard. and finally have FM paste into container, as a smaller +/-20kb thumbnail. Sorry if this topic is in the wrong area, I could not find a Send Event thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 In Windows you can set the default app in a file's properties and specify that all files of that type open with your selected app. Not a great solution, but otherwise possibly a vbscript could do it; I know AppleScript could do it on a Mac. This sounds like a perfect application for SuperContainer. It creates thumbnails on the fly and many other slick tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bret10 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 SuperContainer only supports FM 8.5. I have FM 8. could anybody help me with a VB script as to how I would do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
