In depth
A closer look at Platypus 2.6
Platypus is a program for creating application wrappers around scripts, i.e. creating Mac OS X applications that execute a script they are bundled with. Scripts are then to run transparently from the graphical window environment, facilitating their execution and blending seamlessly into the user interface.
Platypus sports the following features:
- Authentication dialog for executing script with privileges
- Setting custom icons for script applications
- Scripts receive paths of dropped files as arguments
- Scripts receive path to application bundle via $1 (ARGV[0])
- Interface for copying support files into application bundle
- Support for Shell, Perl, Ruby, PHP, Python, Tcl, Expect, AppleScript
- Support for arbitrary interpreter definition -- which effectively means support for any kind of interpreted scripting language
