Re: icon of file

Thanks Tim that sounds great
errrrrrr.......... only thing is I can't get it to work :-(

on awake from nib theObject

set iconImage to call method "iconForFile:" of (call method
"sharedWorkspace" of class "NSWorkspace") with parameter
"/Users/p/Desktop/Photo Library - 0715.tif"
set loadImage to load image iconImage
set image of image view "icon" of window 1 to loadImage

end awake from nib

returns NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError 4(1)

I'm probably doing something dumb
any further clue would be appreciated
thanks

Peter

P.S. the path to the file is good and my image view works ok
