G’day
Would have helped if I'd used -format and not commented out the relevant line.
However, this routine is far more versatile, but it turns out I need to unmount
the drive before trying to compress it. I cannot get the format correct though,
for….
set shellScriptTwo to (("hdiutil unmount " as text) & myPath)
—> hdiutil: unmount: "/Users/OzSanta/Documents/My XCode Projects/AA Sierra
Public/Web Site stuff/Art Archiver.dmg" failed to unmount due to error 16.
hdiutil: unmount failed - Resource busy
tell application "System Events" to set myFile to choose file of type {"dmg"}
with prompt "Please select a disk image to set the 'auto open' on :"
set myPath to quoted form of POSIX path of myFile
tell application "Finder" to set myName to (name of myFile) as text
tell application "System Events" to display dialog myName giving up after 2
set myNameTwo to quoted form of ((characters 1 thru ((offset of "." in myName)
- 1) of myName) as text)
tell application "System Events" to display dialog myNameTwo giving up after 2
set shellScript to "hdiutil attach -verify -autofsck -mount required " & myPath
do shell script shellScript
--> "hdiutil attach -noverify -noautofsck -mount required
'/Users/OzSanta/Documents/My XCode Projects/AA Sierra Public/Web Site stuff/Art
Archiver.dmg'"
set shellScriptTwo to (("hdiutil unmount " as text) & myPath)
do shell script shellScriptTwo
tell application "System Events" to set myFolder to choose folder with prompt
"If desired, please select a new folder in which to save a compressed version
of the disk image, or Cancel :"
set folderPath to quoted form of POSIX path of ((myFolder as text) & myName)
set shellScriptThree to "hdiutil convert " & myPath & " -format UDZO -o " &
folderPath
do shell script shellScriptThree
-->hdiutil convert '/Users/OzSanta/Documents/My XCode Projects/AA Sierra
Public/Web Site stuff/Art Archiver.dmg' UDZO -o '/Users/OzSanta/Desktop/Art
Archiver.dmg.zip'"
shellScript & return & return & shellScriptThree
Any advice please??

Santa
