Hi Eric,
I don't know if it's the same for everyone but with this list, when you
respond, it only goes back to the sender, unless you manually include
the
list address. I just responded to your email but it only went back to
you.
So, I'm sending this to the list this time.
OK, after sending my last email I realised that I had set the fileName
value but not used it in the dialog. So I tried changing aFile to
fileName
in the display dialogue line but it returned the following error:
Can't get name of alias "PATH TO FILE.PDF"
It does the same thing when I change it to (name of aFile).
I even tried changing aFile to (class of aFile) and it showed alias in
the
dialogue.
I'm sure this means everything to those who know what they are doing
but
for me... I don't know how to fix this.
Many thanks,
Cojcolds
Hello I will try to give an example.
property the_name : "exemples_cursives.rtf"
property the_path : "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:" & the_name
tell application "Finder"
set the_true_name to name of alias the_path
(* this first one is OK, the reference is a full pathname *)
set the_wrong_name to name of alias the_name
(* this second one will fail, the reference is just a single name *)
end tell
When run, the history display:
tell application "Finder"
get name of alias "Macintosh
HD:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:exemples_cursives.rtf"
"exemples_cursives.rtf"
get name of alias "exemples_cursives.rtf"
"Erreur dans Finder : Impossible d’obtenir name of alias
\"exemples_cursives.rtf\"."
