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)"
...and if you're starting from Terminal in the first place, consider the file(1) command:
% file /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
