An AppleScript GUI app for Mail and Entourage backups
Authored by: mjar81 on Nov 03, '05 01:20:34PM

Thanks for the reply. I'm working on this right now... basically just putting a "~" in front of the save path to reference the user directory. Unfortunately, my dev machine is running xcode 2.1 and tiger and i didn't install the SDK for previous OS X builds so i'm reinstalling Xcode as we speak.

I'll let you know how it turns out!

I had major problems getting the ~ to be recognized as a valid applescript shell script usage. That is why I put in the user variable to take it's value from the result of:
[code]
do shell script "echo $USER"
[/code]

This allowed me to point to those absolute paths without ~

Hopefully this helps you in your development.
