I searched the archives and posted to the Discussion forums (AppleScript and 10.3 Customization). In the archives I found one question like mine, back in 2002, but no answer.
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2002/Jun/msg00636.html
I wrote this script to automatically unmount the camera chip and quit Image Capture. The idea being that once the images have been downloaded all I have to do is unplug the USB cord.
tell application "Finder"
try
eject "CHIP_NAME"
on error
-- Oops.
end try
end tell
delay 1
tell application "Image Capture"
try
quit
on error
-- Oops.
end try
end tell
Just replace CHIP_NAME with the name of your camera RAM chip.
I saved it as an app, no Startup Screen, not Stay Open, not Run Only.
When I run it from the Script Editor it works. When I open it from the Finder, it works.
But when I choose it as the automatic process to perform once Image Capture has downloaded the images it doesn't work. I can see it launches very quickly for a moment then quits.
I put a delay 3 at the beginning thinking maybe Image Capture was still somehow using the chip and therefore it couldn't be unmounted, but that didn't work either.
Is this a bug? I did put it in the OS X Feedback page.
Or am I leaving something out?
Dragging files from /System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks/ on to the ScriptEditor give me "Unable to read the dictionary of the application or extension because it is not scriptable." (Thank goodness for OS X's ability to copy text from dialogs. :-))
TIA
