Re: [MACTCL] Associating documents with an OS X tk app

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

Should work the same way it does for classic MacOS.  But in playing with=20=

this I noticed two problems.  One is that in tk8.4 all the tk_ type=20
procs were moved into the tk:: namespace, so tk_openDocument got renamed=20=

to

tk::mac::OpenDocument

For all the ones that were defined by tk, aliases were made back to the=20=

old names, but this one was user defined, so you really can't do this...

So you will have to create such a proc, and route it through to your=20
tk_openDocument proc.

The other is that I haven't changed the code in=20
tk/macosx/tkMacOSXHLEvents.c to use FSRef's, it uses FSSpec still.  It=20=

seems like if I do:

tell application "Wish Shell"
	open document =
"/Volumes/TheCloset/jingham/Documents/something.txt"
end tell

in the script editor, I get garbage for the file path.  The odoc event=20=

is correct, an AEList with one element, but when I try to get the first=20=

element as an FSSpec, it is all mangled...

If you have a spare minute, it shouldn't be hard to fix this.  Just look=20=

at the OdocHandler funciton in tkMacOSXHLEvent.c.  Otherwise, I will get=20=

to it sometime.
