Given a path like: "/volumes/SomeVol/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/ Mac OS/Finder" how do I find out whether the file 'Finder' is PPC, Intel or Universal?
Use this ...
tell application "Finder" to kind of aliasToAppl
I get an error:
tell application "Finder" to kind of "/volumes/Bart/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/ Mac OS/Finder"
Can't get kind of "/volumes/Bart/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/ Mac OS/Finder".
In my example, 'aliasToAppl' must be an alias, not a posix path. You need to change the posix path to an alias, then it will work. For example ...
tell application "Finder" to kind of posix file "/volumes/..."
You can also use ...
alias "OS_X:System:Library:CoreServices:Finder.app:Contents:MacOS:Finder" tell application "Finder" to kind of the result --> "Unix Executable File (Intel)"
But why dig that deep into the Finder.app package? |
