Hi,
I was thinking that when one change the extension hidden to true (it is set on
my machine to false as default) that the name or displayed name (I think that it
was this one) shows the file name without its extension...
Example:
tell application "Finder"
-- ask the user to choose a file
set zeFile to choose file
-- hide the extension
set extension hidden of zeFile to true
-- get the file properties
return properties of zeFile
end tell
Here is a part of the returned properties string:
{class:document file, name:"ColorSyncScripting Profile.jpg", index:1, displayed
name:"ColorSyncScripting Profile.jpg", name extension:"jpg", extension hidden:true,
I cut the remainder of the properties list.
As you can see, name and displayed name returns the exact same string that
include the extension :( weird :(.
Is it a bug or a (my) misunderstanding ?
Cheers,
Emile
BTW: Take a breath before reading the next sentence and a second at the end of
the second line and a third at the end of that sentence :)
I feel that I have a work around. I compute the length of the extension, add 1
(for the dot), get the left part of the string using the string length - 4
(extension length + 1 for the dot), add the suffix I want to use, a dot and the
original extension string. Duh!
