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.
Hello Satyam,
Even if "info for" from Standard Additions tends to be obsoleted, I
nevertheless lazily ran
info for (choose file)
from Script Editor and selected a zipped file created with the
Finder's "Compress..." menu item.
Here's an excerpt of the returned record:
{ ... kind:"Archive dans un fichier ZIP", file type:" file creator:"
type identifier:"public.zip-archive", ... }
It might prove useful to experiment with various zip files so as to
catch every possible cases.
set theItems to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Select an
zip file:" of type {"ZIP"} default location (path to desktop))
As suggested by above result, this one works here:
choose file of type {"public.zip-archive"}
HTH,
Axel _______________________________________________
