Link-buttons to applications

Post by kresten » Tue Mar 02, 2010 2:26 pm

I have managed to include a function, which permits users to produce link-buttons to files,folders and other programs. In mac the link to programs works easy, oppening the applications-folder, on windows it got considerably more complicated: I ended up solving the problem in the answer script by "set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath ("0x00017") " and "Answer file "select a program" with defaultFolder".
Does anybody have an idea, how this function could be scripted in Linux. (I am working in UBUNTU 8.10)
Best regards

Most applications are under /usr/bin
