OK, almost there now...
In the prompt dialogue where it asks
for the title name of the DVD, if I have dropped more than one file it
gets confusing as to which file it's asking the title of so I'd like to
add the filename in the dialogue.
The below snipets of my script highlight
the bits I'm working on but at the moment the dialogue is showing the entire
path of the file being worked on... not just the filename. How do I change
it to just return the filename?
Here's the code:
on
open filelist
with
timeout
of
(5 * minutes) seconds
if
GetResources() is
true then
CreateNewFolder()
GetResources()
repeat
with
aFile in
filelist
set
replacement_title to
AskTitle(aFile)
set
replacement_catNo to
AskCatNo()
DoAllThis(aFile)
ReplaceTitle(replacement_title)
ReplaceCatNo(replacement_catNo)
end
repeat
end
if
end
timeout
InClosing()
end
open
--ASK
TITLE
on
AskTitle(aFile)
tell
me
to
activate
repeat
tell
application "Finder"
set
fileName to
name of
aFile
set
d to
display dialog "Please enter the Title name (less than 13 chrs) for
the file " & aFile & ":" default answer ""
set
answer to
text returned of
d
if
the
answer contains
":" then
beep
display dialog "A
file or folder name cannot contain a colon (:). Please try again..."
buttons {"OK"} default button 1
else
if
the
answer contains
"/" then
beep
display dialog "A
file or folder name cannot contain a forward slash (/). Please try again..."
buttons {"OK"} default button 1
else
return
answer
exit
repeat
end
if
end
tell
end
repeat
end
AskTitle
Your assistance is MOST appreciated!
Cheers,
Coj
