I am using the following statement to display a file choose dialog,
where user is permitted to select only zip files. But "ZIP" is not
a valid file type. Can some one tell me what is the valid type for
ZIP files.
set theItems to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Select an
zip file:" of type {"ZIP"} default location (path to desktop))
Or we can do another thing. Let user select any file. Once user
selects from the apple script, can we check whether file is of type
zip or not and throw error message accordingly.
(a) a file type is a FOUR characters string but you use a three
characters one.
The correct string is "ZIP " (with a space.
(b) with macOs X, most of the time, files are not given a file type
but an Universal Type Identifier (UTI).
for zip files, the UTI is: "com.pkware.zip-archive" .
