I'm using dropfile to specify the path to the application, then append the command line attribute. Everything works fine in Windows OS, but on Mac OS Shell does not output anything to stdout. 

Could this be due to the fact that in the path “Macintosh” is displayed first and then the path “HD:/user/bla/bla.filetype”? Should I get rid of "Macintosh"?

Example on Win: "C:/user/bla/bla.filetype" -f

This is what I get using dropfile on Mac: "Macintosh HD:/user/bla/bla.filetype" -f

Hi,

How can I get this to work correctly on mac OS?

this is proper way to pass 2 paths to shell on Mac

But what you tell shell to do with that 2 paths is another story.

Maybe you need to talk to command line version of that app ?

or then use scripting to tell app to do this or that ...

"Maybe you need to talk to command line version of that app ?

My goal is to use the application from the command line (cross-platform) with the -f argument and specifying the path to the file, so that I can later use stdout in my patch. I don't understand programming, etc., I'll try to find information on the forum)

I see you want to use  keyfinder application.

You will probably place it into applications.

And ... you need to provide path to binary executable within app.

Hello again ) What am I doing wrong? in the terminal I get "G". But the Max console doesn't print this.

It is not your fault, keyfinder seems to output 2 messages,

/Applications/KeyFinder-OSX/KeyFinder.app/Contents/MacOS/KeyFinder -f $1 \; echo ''

symout and stderr should be turned off, unless you need that line

Thank you so much buddy! Now everything works great! You are my hero :)

Is [Shell] cross-platform?
