Thank you Kai,

I'm aware of the difference NAME / KIND and that KIND is r/o as well.
It is weird that using the app QTPlayer I can change the kind but not using applescript.
The solution suggested sets the NAME in ANNOTATION, while what I need is specifically change the kind in order to make a bunch of movies compatible with an master movie that already exists and makes decisions based on the KIND of each track.


Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to build an script to change the name (which is expressed in the dictinary as KIND) of certains audio tracks, but i've failed writing.
I can get the KIND but not set it. Any ideas?


--
tell application "QuickTime Player"
	activate
	tell movie 1
		activate
		set m_list to kind of track 2
		tell track 1
			get kind
			set kind to "portugues"
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

The track properties 'name' and 'kind' are not synonymous in my dictionary, José - although a string like "Movie" might be used as a value for either.


While 'kind' is specified as read only here, 'name' is not. You might therefore try something like:

----------------

tell application "QuickTime Player" to ¬
	set track 1's name to "portugues"

----------------
