Hi,
I've got what seems to be a rather absurd problem with the automation
of saving draw documents in Appleworks 6 as JPEG files (not unsual
when it comes to scripting anyting in Appleworks...).
If the frontmost document in AW6 is a draw document, the following
script will work just fine to save it as a JPEG, but it has one
glaring drawback. It seem to absolutely require human intervention:
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
save front document in file "HD:Some Folder:some file.jpg"
using translator "JPEG [QT]" as file type "JPEG"
end tell
When I run this script, AW6 pops up a dialog requesting that I set
JPEG options such as image quality. I can't see any way set such
options via script and/or bypass the dialog. This makes batch
conversion of AW6 files to JPEG a pain in the derriere. Anybody have
a solution to this problem?
For the Record, I'm using Appleworks 6.2.4, OS X 10.1.5 and
Applescript 1.8.3 (or whatever the latest version available thru
Software Update).
Thanks,
Neal.
