tell application "System Events" to set the_size to size of disk item (ThePicture as text)This has been working for ages, now I get errors…
Can't get «class ditm» "/Users/rpoland/Pictures/ APOD f /140611-galaxies_mackivne n_2 000-1 ,jpg" of application "System Events",
The file "140611-galaxies_mackivne n_2 000-1 ,jpg” was removed yesterday and no longer exists. AND is not the file I “Chose”.
Are you sure the error message is coming from the line you're looking at? You may have "1406110galaxies-mackiven n_2 000-1.jpg" somewhere else (perhaps as a property) and reference it further down in the script.
It's odd that you appear to have a folder "APOD ƒ", but the error message refers to folder "APOD f". I don't know if that's a clue or merely a transcription error. I have not restarted the computer yet.
Why not? It's astonishing how often inscrutable errors are fixed by a simple restart.
Just as a matter of style (and not related to your problem):
tell application "System Events" to set the_size to size of disk item (ThePicture as text)
is unnecessarily roundabout. "ThePicture" is already an alias. No need to convert it to text and then back to a disk item. Just say:
tell application "System Events" to set the_size to size of ThePicture
