I am trying to use AppleScript Studio to create an encrypted disk
image.
There will be more to it than just that, but this is the part that
is not
working as I would expect. I had one that worked as I wanted, but
haven't
used it for a while. Something is now different as the command will
work
in AppleScript, but not in an AppleScript Studio application.
Here is the basic code...
set Users_Home to (path to home folder) as string
set EncryptedName to display dialog "Enter the name of the new secure
area." buttons {"Cancel", "Create"} default answer "Encypted Space"
default button "Create"
if button returned of EncryptedName = "Create" then
set EncryptedName to text returned of EncryptedName
set Secure_Sparse_Image to quoted form of POSIX path of
(Users_Home &
EncryptedName)
do shell script "hdiutil create -type SPARSE -volname " &
quoted
form of
EncryptedName & " -encryption AES-256 -agentpass -size 100g -fs HFS
+ " &
Secure_Sparse_Image
end if
In AppleScript, it will pop up the asking for a password for the disk
image with the ability to remember the password in the keychain. With
AppleScript Studio, it will simply hang the application. I am
assuming it
is silently requesting the password, but I can not see it. Any
thoughts or
suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob Morton
