Im writing a script which needs to do some batch operations over a folder
(inside a "tell
Finder"), then use Photoshop to convert some images (inside a "tell
Photoshop") and then do some
more batch operations (again inside a "tell Finder"). The first set of batch
operations works
fine, but after using photoshop I am unable to do any batch operations.
thanks, Jessica
Here is the script:
-- temp_folder, packet_name defined up here
set file_count to 0
tell application "Finder"
activate
set new_folder to make new folder in temp_folder
set name of new_folder to packet_name
set packet_folder to folder packet_name of folder temp_folder as string
-- THIS BATCH OPERATION "copy every" WORKS FINE. AS DOES THE REPEAT LOOP
copy every item of folder source_folder to folder packet_folder
set file_list to every item in folder packet_folder
-- renames everything in the new packetfolder that was just made
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in file_list
set file_count to file_count + 1
set name of item i of file_list to packet_name & "_" & file_count
end repeat
set archive_list to every item in folder packet_folder
set file_count to 0
end tell
tell application "Adobe. Photoshop. 6.0.1"
activate
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in archive_list
open item i of archive_list
end repeat
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in archive_list
do script "Save as Tiff"
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Finder"
activate
-- THIS DOES NOT WORK, why? why? why?
move every file in container proc_folder to folder packet_folder
-- THIS DOES WORK (thumb_folder has been created somewhere else)
move folder thumb_folder to folder packet_folder
end tell
