Lines: 26 Perhaps someone can help. What I'd like to do is using SFGetfile create a list of files to form a queue which could then be saved and read back in at a later time and processed. Admittedly, the user could trash/move some files. If at the time of processing the file wasn't available then it would be skipped. After tinkering with this for several days now, I have gotten no where. It would appear that just having the vrefnum and fname is not enough. So I have been including the dirid so that I can open a working directory. However, all or some of these numbers appear to be different when I try to process them at a later time. Ideas? At this point, I am starting to think that I will need to save a whole path name for each file. I would appreciate any ideas, comments, or code snipets that anyone may have that are related.
