Application File 2
An object of class Application File is an application’s file on a disk. References
to application files must always include a complete description of the file’s
container. Such references are different from standard AppleScript references
to application objects, which don’t always require a complete pathname.
PROPERTIES
An application file has all the properties defined for object class File on page 61:
Creator Type, File Type, Locked, Product Version, Stationery, and Version.
Like any other file, an application file also has all the properties defined for
object class Item on page 73: Bounds, Comment, Container, Content Space,
Creation Date, Disk, Folder, Icon, ID, Information Window, Kind, Label Index,
Modification Date, Name, Physical Size, Position, Selected, Size, and Window.
Unlike other files, an application file also has these properties:
minimum partition siz
e
An integer indicating the minimum amount of memory,
in bytes, that the application requires to run. This value is
equivalent to the value in the box labeled “Minimum size”
under “Memory Requirements” in the application file’s
information window (see “Notes”).
Class: Integer
Modifiable: Yes
partition size
An integer indicating the amount of memory, in bytes, that the
application is launched with if a block of this size is available.
This value is equivalent to the value in the box labeled “Preferred
size” under “Memory Requirements” in the application file’s
information window (see “Notes” on page 40).
Class: Integer
Modifiable: Yes
