Hi all,
In our studio we have issues where if
the PostScript outline font is set to permissions "Others: No Access"
the job will dump in the RIP and no file is printed.
The designers have been manually adjusting
the permissions but I thought I'd write a script to help them achieve this
much quicker.
The below script seems to be working
fine as an application bundle. Drag your folder/s onto the script and the
permissions are changed to full read/write.
When I did a search on the archive there
were similar discussions but mostly to do with folder action scripts, so
I thought I'd share it for others with similar needs.
===============================================
on
open (Folderz)
try
repeat
with
thisFolder in
Folderz
set
filePath to
quoted form of
POSIX path of
thisFolder
do shell
script "chmod -R ugo+rw " & filePath
end
repeat
display dialog "Permissions changed successfully."
buttons {"Thanks!"} default button 1
on
error
display dialog "Changing permissions
failed. Please try it manually" buttons {"OK"} default button
1
end
try
end
open
on
run
try
set
aFolder to
choose folder with prompt "Please choose a folder to process"
set
filePath to
quoted form of
POSIX path of
aFolder
do shell script "chmod -R ugo+rw "
& filePath
display dialog "Permissions changed successfully."
buttons {"Thanks!"} default button 1
on
error
display dialog "Changing permissions
failed. Please try it manually" buttons {"OK"} default button
1
end
try
end
run
===============================================
There may even be a better way to impliment
this. All suggestions welcome!
Cheers,
