Thanks. I read this, and learned something from it that I otherwise
wouldn't have come upon.
"It appears that the System Events application is assuming a role as a
Finderless command center for access to file system objects and
processes, perhaps leading the way toward a regime where the Finder is
only one of many possible user interfaces for these system features."
All non-boolean properties of File System objects, unfortunately, are
read-only. I was hoping (kinda, sorta) that this might mean a way to
manipulate files and their properties without getting the dreaded
beachball Finder Progress Indicator every time, but...I guess we're not
quite there yet.
