Labels seem to exist in OS X (You can set labels with utilities like
FileBuddy), though the Finder Label column will always display "--", even
when a label is set.
What is odd is that the Finder scripting dictionary includes a "label index"
property for <item>, but apparently, <file> inherits _every property but
"label index"_ from <item>. At least, it is not in the list of properties
returned by this script:
tell application "Finder" to get properties of alias "Work:test:test.url"
The creators of the dictionary have been clever enough to state that only
some of the <item> properties are inherited, so having "label index" listed
under <item> will likely not be considered a bug.
Does anybody know if the property "label index" can be accessed, or is to
any use at all? If it was accessible, we could easily implement labeling by
placing seven tiny scripts in the Script Menu..
Cheers,
Sven Ryen
