Considering the overwhelming number of requests that we received, it's better that we post the osax here.

If you use the osax, do report bugs, please.

Many thanks for this! Much appreciated.

In my case, I ended up going with 'do shell script' and 'mv'. Always a bit fiddly scripting the shell from AppleScript, but it works.


First impression of the osax is... ugly terminology! Spaces are not used between words, although I appreciate that 'filerename' can not easily become 'file rename' or even 'rename file' without potential terminology conflicts, which are especially risky with osaxen.


Perhaps worse is the terminology 'create symlink' - where what appears to be a class (symlink) is baked into a command name.

Then again, it's free and useful. I will now find out if it actually works. :) Thanks Emmanuel!
