Re: Open Dialog via filename extension?

-boo
wondering if an answer is a recursive cron job to fix all *.scpt files

May I suggest this one, to find out every *.scpt in a selected folder as alias list?

-- choose the folder
set tarPOSIX to quoted form of POSIX path of (choose folder)

-- without error trapping
-- briefly, find recursively in the selected folder, every items with the name ends with '.scpt' set y to every paragraph of (do shell script "find " & tarPOSIX & " -name '*.scpt'")

-- make a list of alias
set aList to {}
repeat with i in y
set end of aList to (contents of i) as POSIX file as alias
end repeat

Then loop thru aList & ask Finder to change the file type, I guess you know how to do this part ;-)

The shell command 'find' is helpful, do searching recursively & IMO, reliable than Finder's entire contents.
