Forgot how to get the path of where the stack is. I know there are a couple easy ways and I know its been mentioned in this forum many times. Unfortunatly if I knew what to search for I wouldn't have to ask the question. So can someone please remind me of the easiest way to get the current stack is in (assuming the Defaultfolder has been changed)?

UPDATE: nevermind Found it

I use..

Code: Select all

the effective fileName of this stack

Seems to work fine

To get just the path this works...

Code: Select all

set the itemDelimiter to "/"
put (item 1 to -2 of the effective fileName of this stack) & "/" into tMyPath
