I cannot find any commands regarding to authors, and my example does
not compile. Can anyone help me?
Which reminded me of something I saw some time ago. Or had I? So, I
wrote this quickie script ...
on open dropList
tell application "Finder"
repeat with dropItem in dropList
if (class of item dropItem) is document file then
do shell script "mdls " & (POSIX path of dropItem)
display dialog the result
end if
end repeat
end tell
end open
At this point there isn't much to discuss. Simply compile this script
as a drag & drop application and explore. Some files will not
cooperate, others have interesting meta-data attached to them, and
some even have authors (kMDItemAuthors). So, where do we go from here?
