Creating an Action that Accepts a Dropped File or Prompts for One

Use this syntax for the file argument:

%Arg_n"prompt"%

or

%(File)Arg_n"prompt"%

This syntax produces an action that:

• Accepts a dropped file as the file argument.

• Displays a dialog box that prompts for a file name when the user double-clicks the action icon.

  For example, this execution string performs lp -oraw on a dropped file. If the action is started by double-clicking the icon, a dialog box appears prompting for the file name.

  EXEC_STRING lp -oraw %Arg_1"File to print:"%
