"Displayed name" will include the the extension if it is not hidden,
so it won't work in all cases. This is what I came up with:
set Ext_hidden to the extension hidden of the_File
set the extension hidden of the_File to true
set the File_Name to the displayed name of the_File
set the extension hidden of the_File to Ext_hidden
Is there a better way? (You get to define "better.")
Ooh goody! ;-)
-----------------
on nameOnly for f
tell (info for f)
tell name extension to if it is missing value then
set e to 0
else
set e to count
end if
tell name
if e is 0 then return it
text 1 thru -(e + 2)
end tell
end tell
end nameOnly
nameOnly for choose file
