HELLO,
How can I script the Finder to select a file's icon in the General
Information Panel of the Information Window? Here's what I've done so
far:
tell application "Finder"--an Info Window must be open
activate
set IW1 to information window 1
tell IW1 to set current panel to General Information panel
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
set w1 to window 1
tell w1
tell (position as list) to set {w1x, w1y} to items
set ui5 to UI element 5 --seems to be the contents area
tell ui5
set ui6ui5 to UI element 6 --the general panel
tell ui6ui5
--properties --Size is area of general panel;
set bui6ui5 to button "image" --the icon
tell bui6ui5
--properties --size={32,32}; x=w1x+27; y=w1y+47; selected: missing
click --DARKENS MOMENTARILY BUT DOESN'T SELECT
click at {w1x + 30, w1y + 50}--same
end tell--bui6ui5
end tell --ui6ui5
end tell --ui5
end tell --w1
end tell--SE
TIA,
Jonathan
