Hi, Im just trying to create an alias to a file, and set the name of the
alias to different to the file, my filenames are provided in the POSIX
notation.
So far I have:
tell application "Finder"
set theFile to (POSIX file (get "/Users/paul/Music/AliasTest/test.mp3"))
set theAlias to make new alias file to theFile
end tell
but this fails with:
error "Finder got an error: Can’t get POSIX file
\"/Users/paul/Music/AliasTest/test.mp3\"." number -1728 from file
"Macintosh HD:Users:paul:Music:AliasTest:test.mp3"
even though this file does exist !
thanks Paul
