Let me suggest an Automator workflow as a possibility too. You can
have a "Run Shell Script" action with the perl code in it to
produce the list of file names, followed immediately by a "Label
Finder Items" action (which lets you choose a colour to be applied
to a list of files.).
Following your suggestion, Steve, I tried Automator. As usual, I
found it very promising, up to the point when I couldn't join the
building blocks together:
1: Get Selected Finder Items -> Files/Folders
2: Run Perl script, which expects one or more paths as input (usage:
$0 <path> <path>)
Some kind of conversion from Finder Files/Folders to Perl-suitable
file paths is obviously required, but I don't think Automator is
doing it.
Pity the automator-users list is moribund, because this topic is
(finally) moving away from AppleScript... :-)
