Re: How to do photos in AppleScript?

What should the type be?

Are there any example Cocoa apps out there that have image attributes?

You've run up against the frustration of where AppleScript's types end and custom app-defined types begin.

If you look inside iChat's dictionary, you find that it defines TIFF Picture as essentially backed up by "NSData".

Not sure what this means for how (or if) scripters can usefully manipulate the TIFF Picture with data from outside of the app (e.g. from a disk file).

Generally I think what you would do is expose a class like "TIFF Picture" such that it included a property like "data path" or something, so users could do something like "make new TIFF Picture with properties {data path:myPictureFilePath}".

I'm pretty rough on this stuff myself, though.
