Chris,

I just tried your script on a G3 iBook a G4 powerbook and both worked. I haven't used Image Events for sometime but I do remember having troubles with it intermittently.

From my own experience I had trouble with Image Events quitting at inappropriate times. It seemed to get itself confused as to when it should automatically quit.

If you continue to have problems you can try out a small program of mine called YVS Picture Translator that provides similar functionality as Image Events. YVS Picture Translator is free and more info can be read here:

pulled some sample applescripts from the Apple Web sites for
scripting the new Image Events Ap (SIPS) that comes with Panther.

I get uneven results, and I am trying to decide if it is my system
install, my poor understanding of Apple script, or if what I am experiencing is the expected behavoir.


On a G4 Quicksilver 733 with 10.3.6 updated from software update, if I run this applescript:

set this_file to choose file
try
    tell application "Image Events"
        launch
        -- open the image file
        set this_image to open this_file
        -- extract the property value
        copy the resolution of this_image to {xres, yres}
        -- purge the open image data
        close this_image
    end tell
    display dialog "Resolution: " & (xres as string)
on error error_message
    display dialog error_message
end try

After selecting an image, it displays the error: Can't get item 1 of {};

If I run the same script on a Blue & White with 10.3.6 update from
Software update, I get the expected result: 72.0

Other properties such as File Type and bit depth are missing as well.

I see from previous posts that others have encountered similar problems. Did anyone find a solution?
