Hi,
this is my first post to the list - its awesome to see here some of the
people whose sites, articles, etc, I've seen or read in the past!
I have a (puzzling) problem: on moving from OS 9 to OS X, all of the
image files now have really lousy, degraded image preview icons. I know
I can open and re-save and that results in a new, nicer preview icon.
The problem is having to do this one by one. I could do it in
Photoshop, but then some of the files were _not_ originally saved from
photoshop, and I don't want to change the creator.
Is there a way to use a script to do it? this way, every time I open a
folder and there are files with old icons, I could just select them and
go to ScriptMenu on the top bar, and re-generate their preview icons (I
could also kust create a droplet...)
I guess I could have a script open 'Preview' but from this point on I
am thoroughly confused, especially because I've been reading about
issues with AS and dialogs (clicking OK can't be automated, you have to
use something like QuicKeys or Youppy...).
Help!
Mike
