Does anybody know how to get information from the
inspector-/information window from the Finder.
I used to get the Findercomment of items and paste these into a custom
field "Comment" in Portfolio.
However, under OS X this won't function no more:
when i test "tell Finder" part of your script it correctly returns the
comment of a file.. you don't say what kind of wrong behavior you see,
but perhaps the problem is in the Portfolio code -- make sure that
newFName is a string, for one thing
also, you may not have the comments you think -- Mac OS 9 comments are
stored in the Desktop Database, while Mac OS X comments are stored in
the .DS_Store file.. Mac OS X can't see Mac OS 9 comments and vice
versa.. if you need the Mac OS 9 comments, there is probably a tool
your script could run in Classic to retrieve the info, but i don't know
what tool offhand
