hi,
OS 10.4.2. I'm trying to script the Get Info window to un-check the
"Stationery Pad" checkbox. Script so far;
(*
ClickStationeryPad - 8/13/05 - By R.L.Poland - with help from Philip
Regan and Gary Wood -
from script "ChangeFileNames"
*)
on open (droppedItems)
repeat with i from 1 to the count of droppedItems
set this_item to (item i of droppedItems)
set the item_info to info for this_item
if folder of the item_info is true then -- deal with folders
process_folder(this_item)
end if
end repeat
beep
display dialog "All done." buttons "OK" default button "OK"
giving up after 2
return
end open
on process_folder(this_folder) -- this sub-routine processes folders
set droppedItems to list folder this_folder without invisibles
repeat with i from 1 to the count of droppedItems
set this_item to alias ((this_folder as text) & (item
i of droppedItems))
set the item_info to info for this_item
if folder of the item_info is true then
-- another folder inside the current folder
process_folder(this_item)
else -- not a folder
my setStationery(this_item)
end if
end repeat
end process_folder
on setStationery(myFile) -- un-check stationery pad
tell application "System Events"
set targetX to file (myFile as string)
set the stationery of targetX to false
end tell
end setStationery
When folders of "Stationery" are dropped on this script it works, but
when single files are dropped a copy of the original file is made and
the checkbox is not cleared on the original. The problem starts with
the first line "on open (droppedItems)".
Looks like a "Feature" of OS 10.3.9 and OS 10.4.2.
Comments will be appreciated.
Tia,
