Scott,
I have several scripts that work across our network, changing creator codes
of files resident on NT servers. The following work well when the files are
dropped onto the classic applet:
on open (theList)
tell application "Finder"
repeat with theItem in theList
if class of theItem is file then
set locked of theItem to false
end if
set fileName to name of theItem
set fileType to file type of theItem
set creatorType to creator type of theItem
set dialogResult to display dialog "File name: " & fileName
& return & ,
"File Type: " & fileType & return & "Creator Code: "
buttons ,
"OK" default button 1 default answer creatorType
set creatorType to text returned of dialogResult
set creator type of theItem to creatorType
end repeat
end tell
end open
And the above script can be altered to the following to change files
specifically to PhotoShop (or other, changing the creator code):
on open (theList)
tell application "Finder"
repeat with theItem in theList
if class of theItem is file then
set locked of theItem to false
end if
set fileName to name of theItem
set fileType to file type of theItem
set creator type of theItem to "8BIM"
end repeat
end tell
end open

Do any of you have a script that I could use to convert the file type and

Hope this helps!
