Sorry my english is not enough to make it clear. In fact I found
that KIND in dictionary is r/o but I haven't found a way to use
AppleScript to make changes like shown in here: <http://
www.modulos.net/picture1.pdf>.
Note that what I call "track name" was changed from "Sound Track 1"
to "portugues" using QTP's properties window. This is what I need.
Applescript let me change the TRACK NAME and cause a change in
annotation "name " of the track - note "Sound Track 2" with
annotation name "espanhol". What I don't need.
As a newbie, I could not found (yet) a property in QT dictionary to
solve this. I'll keep looking.
Ok, I think I might call this a bug... I know what you're talking
about now.
If you pull up Movie Properties, and look at a track, there's a
"Name" column. When you get the name of that track using AppleScript,
it returns the value in the name column. If you edit the value in the
name column using Quicktime Player, AppleScript will return the new
edited name.
However, if you "set" the "name" of that track using AppleScript, it
adds an annotation of type "Name" with the value you set, to the
track, leaving the original value in the name column of the
properties alone. Now, if you get the name of the track using
AppleScript, it returns the value of the Annotation, not the value in
the column.
At best this is confusing and inconsistent, but it looks like a bug
to me.
I just submitted a bugreport to Apple, assigned number 4130968. It's
described in more detail there.
