This is an elementary level 0 question, as I rarely use Applescript. I want
to test iDisk speed of a website containing 500 items, with/without their
normal icons, some of which are previews generated by Graphics Converter. I
find that iDisk is really not useable for site maintenance due to slow
Finder operations, and I reasoned that icons might be a part of the problem.
I can easily script an applet that process all the dropped folder contents -
e.g., to change Comments. But how do I change the icon value? I.e.,
tell application "Finder" to set icon of my_info to <what?>
BTW, my connection is pretty fast, D/L typically > 50kbyte/sec, as I've set
up an Airport wireless LAN between our yacht Adagio and nearby ISP, direct
onto their internal LAN.
Many thanks,
