Here's an extract of my larger script of what I have but I get the
below error. The "size checking" line is taken from an email Adam
Bell posted to the list some time back:
on open folderList
repeat with PickFolder in folderList
CheckOrigSize(PickFolder)
end repeat
end open
on CheckOrigSize(PickFolder)
tell application "Finder"
set aFolder to name of PickFolder
set ProdFldr to first folder of PickFolder whose
name contains "Production"
set OrigFldr to first folder of ProdFldr whose name
contains "Originals"
if ((size of (info for OrigFldr)) div 1048576) > 5
then beep 5
end tell
end CheckOrigSize
info for folder "Originals" of folder "3. Production" of folder
"Job D11111 D22222 D52518 Davids Folder Template" of disk "TECH"
"Finder got an error: File folder Originals wasn't
found."
The File part worries me that I have my classes mixed up but I'm
not sure how to resolve it.
The variable 'OrigFldr' represents a Finder reference, Coj. The 'info
for' command won't understand this - until you coerce it to an alias
or file reference.
I tried getting the properties of the folder but it said that the
size value was missing...
Yeah, Finder sometimes needs a second crack at getting the size
property...
Try something like:
----------------
to CheckOrigSize(PickFolder)
tell application "Finder"
set ProdFldr to first folder of PickFolder whose name contains
"Production"
set OrigFldr to (first folder of ProdFldr whose name contains
"Originals") as alias
end tell
if size of (info for OrigFldr) > 6291455 then beep 5
end CheckOrigSize
