    v1 v2

    33Versions of an !AppleScript for starting EXPGUI are provided below, different versions appear to be needed for [#leopard leopard/10.5], [#leopard snowleopard/10.6] and [#tiger tiger/10.4]. This script must be placed in the EXPGUI folder (so that it can find the files). You can drag this EXPGUI app to the dock or make an alias which can be moved, but don't move the script unless you plan to hard-code the file locations. Clicking on the app starts EXPGUI and dragging .EXP files onto the app opens the program with those files. Dropping a folder onto the EXPGUI app will cause EXPGUI to be started within that folder. It is possible to drag both a directory and files onto the EXPGUI app.

     5I find that sometimes it works better to recompile the !AppleScript in the !AppleScript Editor (Applications/Utilities or in 10.4 Applications/AppleScript/AppleScript Utility)

     15To debug this script, I suggest changing the lines with
     16        set results to do shell script ...
     17to send output to path /tmp/expgui.txt rather than /dev/null (use of >> rather than > is a good idea too.)
