Thanks to the author for adding droplet functionality in that the program exits after the progam has finished its job.

In reading some of the other feedback, perhaps Binosama's idea of a report file isn't such a bad idea that details which files (if any) were changed each time the program is used.

Binosama...although you may already know this, the idea behind X29 is to shorten file names to satisfy the SFM/AFP protocol file name length requirements.

If you need to be able to see such things as names, numbers, or dates that exist in the name of a file or folder, then perhaps shortening file names is not the solution for you. Perhaps ExtremeZ-IP (or other AppleShare-based file server replacement) would be to your advantage (although a bit more expensive) that would eliminate the need to shorten file names.
