Any recommendations about how to use applescript to extract a thumbnail
preview, which is stored as a resource in the file, for use in a Filemaker
database?
Tools readily at my disposal are: GraphicConverter, QuickTime, and if need
be, Photoshop and Debabelizer.
I suppose it would be possible to get it with PreFab Player and ResEdit, but
I'd prefer a more elegant solution if possible :)
On a somewhat related note...it seems I read about an AppleScript that made
it possible to take screen shots that are *vector* PICT images (that is,
they may be enlarged and keep their resolution on vector fonts etc.) If
anyone knows what this is, I'd love to find it!
