Export container and store as reference

[jamesjames]

Hi.

I have a script request. Does anyone have an good example script for exporting a container field to a folder and store the address as a reference?

Ive done some folder and file management with applescript in the solution, but this is a bit complicated and maybe there is a solution out there that would work with some adaptation.

many thanks

Not sure what exactly you mean by that. If you need to know where the exported file can be found, you'd better establish the path before exporting - see, for example, here:

Thanks, thats the gist of it. + then also import the file (filepath) again as a container reference instead.. I just thought there might have been someone at the forum who had a script example doing all this, including keeping track of filenames, sizes and all the other info that can be useful when storing references. But ill give it a go myself, Let you know if I run in to any problems.

cheers and thanks.
