Hi,
I've got a script that is asking the user for information about an
image that's available on the server.
The user won't recognize the photo from the file names, so I thought
I'd have the script display the image in Preview, but it is not
scriptable. I have to quit preview after every image, ( it
understands open and quit, but not close document/widow 1) which ads
a lot of time to the script.
Nearly all these images are tiffs and nearly all have low res
previews and all of them are large, hi-res images. (10 to 30 megs).
So, my question is, is there a way to display a tiff's preview,
rather than open the entire file and is there a preferred app to do
this with?
Thanks

perhaps this can help you with some ideas / opritions
a little script of mine that opens a series of pictures in preview
and then I get the option of deleting or keeping
on open
tell application "Finder"
set TheList to selection
end tell
repeat with x in TheList
tell application "Preview"
open x
set myResult to display dialog "Keep or
delete picture ?" buttons {"Keep", "Delete"} default button 2 with
icon note
set buttonAnswer to button returned of myResult
if buttonAnswer is "Keep" then
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Preview"
click menu item "Luk"
of menu "Arkiv" of menu bar 1
--type "w" holding command
end tell
end tell
else if buttonAnswer is "Delete" then
tell application "Finder"
set label index of x to 7
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Preview"
click menu item "Luk"
of menu "Arkiv" of menu bar 1
--type "w" holding command
end tell
end tell
end if
end tell
end repeat
end open
