Does anyone have any other thoughts
about an action folder script for setting permissions to full read/write?
Currently, because of a very weird issue
in our studio happening on ALL Macs, all fonts need to be manually dropped
onto a bundle script to have their permissions "other" to R/W)
corrected before loading into our Font Management app, otherwise our Mac
Splash RIP dumps the PostScript file thinking it isn't allowed to process
fonts it finds with the "no access" permission.
Having this process automatically taken
care of whenever our Font management app moves fonts into the designated
folder would be one less thing the designers have to worry about and a
real time-saver for us.
Your help is most appreciated.
Cheers,
Coj

| Folder Action for changing privileges |

Hi all,
For some time now I've been successfully using a script application bundle
for changing the permissions of the folder contents dropped onto it and
today I tried making it into a folder action and, while it is successfully
running, the permissions aren't changing. Here's the code:
on adding
folder items to theFolder
after receiving
theAddedItems
try
repeat
with
thisItem
in
theAddedItems
set
FilePath
to
quoted form
of
POSIX path
of
thisItem
do shell script
"chmod -R 777 " & 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 adding
folder items to
I set the "Other" privileges to "No access" on all
the contents, dropped it into the folder with the action set to it, the
"success" message appears but permissions are the same. If I
drop the same folder onto my bundle (same code) the "Others"
permission sets to "Read/write".
All assistance would be most appreciated!
Cheers,
