Hi! I am new to AppleScript and have been going through AppleScript 1-2-3 by
Sal Soghoian and Bill Cheeseman. It’s great and I am learning a lot.
I am working through a script but it seems to give me an error “Finder got an
error; AppleEvent handler failed.”number-10000
I am trying to generate a list of the names of the image files displayed in the
frontmost Finder window, sorted by their file size, and then creating a new
document in TextEdit containing the list of names. I can attach screenshot if
need be. I have copied and pasted the code below. Any help would be great
thanks!
tell application "Finder"
-- generate a list of file references sorted by size
set these_items to sort (get every document file ¬
of the front Finder window) by physical size
-- generate a list of names
set these_names to {}
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set the end of these_names to ¬
the name of (item i of these_items)
end repeat
end tell
-- convert the list of names to a paragraph-delimited text block
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
set the item_list to these_names as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
-- make a new document with the text
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
make new document
set text of document 1 to the item_list
end tell
I greatly appreciate it!
Regards,
Kel
