Hi Guys!
Now for the easy part. Paste the following script into a window in Script
Editor, and save it as an application. Because it contains an "on open"
handler, it will become a droplet.
I actually had a easier time setting up the ID template! Sorry to seem so hard-headed... but here's what I'm facing: I fixed the formatting in the script, as Dave had suggested. I checked syntax, and it worked great. I saved it as an appplication (droplet), opened up my template in ID, and then dragged-and-dropped a group of pics onto the droplet. Then I encontered the following error messages:
1. "Could not run the script 'Contact Sheet app' because of a progam error." ~1376. My two choices were "Edit" and "OK." Clicking on Edit brought up the Script editor. Then the next error message appeared.
2. "Edit: could not read the file because of a scripting-system." My only choice is "OK."
Now what?
