Hi,

I wrote a droplet which works great, but I can only process one type of file at a time. I can process as many as I want, but if I, for example, drop a pdf AND a word document, or a doc AND a docx file, it hangs.

Code Block on open fileList
	display dialog "start"
	processFiles(fileList)
end open

If I drop different file types, I don't even get the "start" prompt. It just hangs.

Thanks,

Jeff

All the open handler does is pass on the items that were dropped onto the application, it doesn't have anything to do with the type of files. Has the Info.plist been modified? Does it do the same thing from a new user account?
