That's the ticket, I think. Last week, when I made that thumbnailer script
posted here, I found that the dictionary is flat wrong regarding 'file
reference'. It _only_ worked for me with text paths.
Confirmed here.
And if you can get 'scale' to work, please tell us how!
What part of 'scale' doesn't work for you? I have not tested the
algorithm integers; I'm assuming that they correspond to the items in
the pop-up menu starting with 1, so I just used 1. ::shrug::
Here's the guts of the script. It takes a 1600x1200 photo image, and
creates 800x600 and 160x120 versions from it.
tell application "GraphicConverter"
tell window 1
if valid then
set ifile to its file
set iname to its name
--stuff here to create the desired output filepaths,
--where fp_m is for medium size and fp_s is for thumbnail size.
scale horizontal 0.5 vertical 0.5 algorithm 1
save it in fp_m as JPEG with makeCopy and wwwready
revert
scale horizontal 0.1 vertical 0.1 algorithm 1
save it in fp_s as JPEG with makeCopy and wwwready
close without saving
else
display dialog "You must first open a *.jpeg file."
end if
end tell
end tell
beep
-boo
