I got this far:
set myFile to choose file tell application "Finder" set myInfo to open the information window of myFile set the current panel of myInfo to More Info panel end tell
But I couldn't find a way to obtain its contents. Does anybody have an idea?
Yes. Opening the Info Window / More Info shows items that you can't get with the Finder, but it looks a lot like info you can get with ...
do shell script "mdls " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of fileAlias)) --> returns all metadata for the file
or
do shell script "mdls -name kMDItemPageHeight " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of fileAlias)) --> returns the string "kMDItemPageHeight = 792"
A little experimenting and you should be in business.
