- These are the steps to create a droplet application:
-
- 1. Make a copy of OmniScript and rename it to the desired name.
- 2. If you want the droplet to have a custom icon edit
- the icon family with ID 132.
- 3. Setup the applications signature and the files it can open by using
- the CONVERT command from OmniScript or use the script "Converter".
- 4. Create the setup script for the droplet and place in the same folder
- as the application. Its name is the application's name with .Setup
- appended.
- 4. Execute the application. This loads and saves the script in the
- application's data fork.

-
- Two example droplet scripts are included. 'File Info' lists some information
- about the files opened by the application. 'Change Creator' changes the creator of a file. This example includes a menu for selecting the creator.

- When developing a script for a droplet it can be time consuming to keep launching the
- application every time the script is changed. The example 'Test Droplet' shows how to avoid this.
