Yes emmanuel,
My first script/option I used the 'dropstuff application'
but I ran into the problem that I wasn't able to close the
terminal window "after" the compression was done.....
I would like to use....do shell script.....but this 'stuff -D'
is an extra installation (from stuffit deluxe) given to the terminal window....
If anyone knows how to quit/close the Terminal after the compression
is done that would also solve my problem.
This is what I had:
tell application "Finder"
set file_list to every item of folder "PATHNAME:STUFFED_FILES:"
repeat with temp_file in file_list
set temp_name to name of temp_file
set stuff_name to quoted form of temp_name
set stuffcom to "cd /PATHNAME/STUFFED_FILES;stuff -D " & stuff_name & ""
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script stuffcom
end tell
end repeat
end tell
