I am trying to create a folder action so that if I drop an alias of an Illustrator file into a folder, Illustrator opens the original file, and resaves it to the original location with changes. I am trying first to get Illustrator to make the changes that I want, without dealing with the path to the original file, and what I have works, but now I can't figure out how to get the path from the alias and apply that path to the saved file.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
What I have, and works for the original file is:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_item in added_items
if name of this_item ends with ".eps" then
try
tell application "Adobe Illustrator 10"
activate
open this_item
save this_item as eps with options {compatibility:Illustrator 10, preview:color TIFF}
close this_item saving no
end tell
end try
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
Thanks
David
