I was excited by the "SOLVED" line in the subject, but it's clearly
not solved. I'd still love to see a way to reveal the *TOP LEVEL* of
any package in the Finder. This is the crux of the original problem,
as indicated by the subject line. Any general solution needs to work
even if the package doesn't have any folders inside it.
All you need to do is temporarily remove the extension:
Here's the script that I use in conjunction with
the Big Cat contextual menu plugin, which is free
from Ranchero Software (ranchero.com). It does
the same thing as the built-in "Show Package
Contents" contextual menu option. I've never
tried it on a package which contained no folders.
The script worked in Panther and it still works
in Tiger.
on run
set selected_ to (choose file with prompt "Select a package.") as list
my main(selected_)
end run
on main(TheFiles)
repeat with file_ in TheFiles
if package folder of (info for file_) is true then
set resPath to ((file_ as text) & "Contents:") as text
try
tell application "Finder" to open alias resPath
on error e
display dialog e
end try
else
display dialog "'" & (name of (info for
file_)) & "' is not a package." buttons ¬
{"OK"} default button 1 with icon 0
end if
end repeat
end main
