The location of LiveCode.app

[andrewferguson]

Hi,
I am on a Mac and I am trying to find out how to find out the location of LiveCode.app.
The LiveCode application will change location frequently so "/Applications/LiveCode.app" will not do.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
this is very strange ... mine is still under /Applications but, obviously, under different names, following the release version (LiveCode 5.5.0.app, LiveCode 6.1.0.app, LiveCode 6.1.1.app ... and so on)

HI Andrew,

you cannot get this directly but try this:

Code: Select all

function where_is_the_app
   put revEnvironmentToolsPath() into tPath
   set itemdel to "/"
   delete item -2 to -1 of tPath
   return tPath
end where_is_the_app

Tested and works

Hint: This will only work in the IDE!


Best
