I'm having a problem getting this old code translated to a newer more
improved version. Here's the pertinent old code:
tell application "Finder"
duplicate file (QuarkTemplateFolder & templateFile) to disk "PageDrop"
with replacing
set name of file ("PageDrop:" & templateFile) to myDocumentName
end tell
tell application "QuarkXPress"
Open [alias file ("PageDrop:" & myDocumentName)] use doc prefs yes remap
fonts no do auto picture import no reflow no
>> errors here with "Can't make "file PageDrop:Page1A.qxp" into an
expected data type"" (paraphrased)
--The part in [] I've tried several incantations of, none work so
far.
end tell
The workflow:
The Finder duplicates the appropriate template file to the working folder
(actually a disk named "PageDrop".)
It renames the file to the name of the editorial eps file that was dropped
for pagination, adding the ".qxp" to the end of the name (that code I didn't
show). I tried adding ".qxt" as well (template type) and still errors.
I tell QXP 6.5 to open the recently renamed file. This is where the error
is. If I open the file direct from QXP, the renaming isn't shown -- it still
has the name of the original template file showing in the title bar.
What step am I missing here?
