suggested partition size

An integer indicating the amount of memory, in bytes, suggested

for running the application. This value is equivalent to the value

in the box labeled “Suggested size” under “Memory Require-

ments” in the application ﬁle’s information window.

Class: Integer

Modiﬁable: No

ELEMENT CLASSES

None

COMMANDS HANDLED

Clean Up, Copy, Count, Data Size, Duplicate, Exists, Get, Make, Move, Open,

Put Away, Reveal, Select, Sort, Update

DEFAULT VALUE CLASS RETURNED

A reference to a ﬁle or, if you use the plural form application files, a list

of references.

EXAMPLES

The script that follows checks the Scriptable Text Editor’s partition size before

opening the application. If the amount of memory available is greater than

the partition size, the script opens the application. If the amount of memory

available is less than the partition size, the script displays a dialog box warning

the user that the Scriptable Text Editor prefers more memory. This might be

useful if a script performs actions requiring more memory than an applica-

tion’s minimum partition size permits.
