Title: Re: ICC Profile Name
I finally solved my problem by going directly to sips:
tell application "Finder"
set pr to folder "Profiles" of folder "ColorSync" of folder "Library" of home as alias
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
set printerProfile to choose file with prompt "Select the printer profile for the paper you will be printing on:" default location pr without invisibles, multiple selections allowed and showing package contents
end tell
set printerProfilePOSIX to quoted form of POSIX path of printerProfile
set profileName to do shell script "sips -g description " & printerProfilePOSIX
set oldDelim to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "description: "
set profileName to last text item of profileName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelim
It’s more of a pain that it should be, but at least I finally can get the result...

Hello. I am trying to get the name of an ICC profile (the text in the description tag, not the file name). I have tried ColorSyncScripting and Image Events, but I cannot seem to get either to report the internal profile name. Here is what I have tried.
tell application "Finder"
set pr to folder "Profiles" of folder "ColorSync" of folder "Library" of home as alias
end tell
set printerProfile to (choose file with prompt "Select the printer profile for the paper you will be printing on:" default location pr without invisibles, multiple selections allowed and showing package contents)
tell application "ColorSyncScripting"
set theProfile to open printerProfile
name of theProfile
end tell
Unfortunately, I get the following error:
tell application "ColorSyncScripting"
open alias "MacPro HD:Users:k-fleisher:Library:ColorSync:Profiles:PGPP 4880 (PR-3)_v1.icc"
"The variable theProfile is not defined."
If I try just getting the name of printerProfile, it just returns the file name, not the text of the description tag. The dictionary entry for “name” says:
profile n : Every profile
elements
contained by application, images.
properties
...
name (text) : the description text of the profile
Can anyone please tell me how to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Ken
