Iconic Drag and Drop
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2014 3:33 am
Is there a way for a standalone to sit on my desktop as an icon (Win7 in this case) and allow me to drag and drop a file on it, and NOT open yet still function? I want the user to be able to double click on it to open the stack to do any human required task, but if they drop a file on it, I want it to redirect the file, based on it's name or extension, to some other app, in this case a reader/parser, without human interaction.
For example, the stack script might have (in pseudo-code):
Does that make sense?
Thanks!

Code: Select all
on doubleClickOnMyIcon
openUserInterfaceAndDoUserStuff
end doubleClickOnMyIcon
on dropAFileOnMe
sendTheFileToAParserBasedOnItsFileExtensionWithoutOpeningTheApp
end dropAFileOnMe
Thanks!
