Couldn't you just use the -srcfolder option?
Fantastic. Thanks Ken, your script runs like a treat and thanks for
tidying up my syntax as well. I feel like I am just dipping my toe in a
sea of Unix and did not really understand how the -src option worked.
I wanted to use it to compress a combination of files and folders from
different locations into one .dmg file.
I could get the POSIX paths of the items into a list but what is the
best way to use hdiutil to process them.
Is there a way to script folders to be copied to the disk image and not
just their contents?
The need for administrator privileges is a nuisance but I can live with
it.
John
The script would then be:
-------------
set myRecord to (display dialog "Enter a name for your archive : "
default answer "")
set archiveName to text returned of myRecord
set button to button returned of myRecord
set selectedFile to choose file
tell application "Finder"
update selectedFile
end tell
if archiveName is not "" and button is not false then
try
set filePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of selectedFile)
set dmgPath to quoted form of ((POSIX path of (path to desktop
folder)) & archiveName)
set archiveName to quoted form of archiveName
set theCommand to "hdiutil create -srcfolder " & filePath & " -fs
HFS+ -volname " & archiveName & " " & dmgPath
do shell script theCommand with administrator privileges
on error errmsg
display dialog errmsg
end try
end if
-------------
