Hi,

From my searches I believe this is likely not possible but I will ask anyway.

I photograph bodybuilding shows.

So I end up with up to 150 folders with the images of individual competitors in them.

While I am sorting the images and later is is very convenient to have the icon of the folder be the icon from one of that competitor's images.

I would like to make a droplet that I could drag and drop a JPG file onto and have the droplet copy that file's icon and then paste that icon onto the folder the file was in.

I have not been able to find any examples where Apple script can access the icon of a file.

I have found quotes where people say this is not possible.

Does anyone have a way to do this?


Here is what I uses:

--[SCRIPT colle_icone_v3]
(* utilise osxutils
with a workaround for accented chars*)

on run
	open ((choose file) as list)
end run

on open (sel)
local tName, f, coF, nocoF, coFut, Fut
tell application "Finder"
set f to (sel's item 1) as alias
set coF to (container of f) as alias

set {nocoF, tName} to {name of coF, "osxutils_slituxso"}
set name of coF to tName (* renomme provisoirement *)
end tell -- to Finder

do shell script "/usr/local/bin/seticon " & quoted form of POSIX path of f & " " & quoted form of POSIX path of coF

tell application "Finder"
set name of (coF as alias) to nocoF (* remet le vrai nom *)
update coF
end tell
end open
--[/SCRIPT]
