Re: Binary files inconsistency

Different than other file systems. Pages and keynote documents are not files
but packages with many files inside. MacOS Finder abstracts them as
application or document units but they must be handled differently.
This is also true for complex textedit documents (.rtfd) and some documents
saved by EyeTv, iMovie, etc.

 The script below takes a binary file, compresses it, decompresses it, and
 then saves it back to disk. I've skipped the encryption part for this recipe
 because it behaves the same way. It works correctly with .jpg, pdf, and .doc
 files but not .pages or keynote. Make a new stack and put the following
 script in a button.

 on mouseUp
   answer file Select a file:
   if it is not empty then
  put it into lFileToRead
  put URL (binfile:  lFileToRead) into vFile
  put compress(vFile) into vFile
  set the itemdelimiter to tab
  ask file Select destination to save file: with the last item of
 lFileToRead
  if it is not empty then
 put it into vFilePath
 put decompress(vFile) into vFile
 put vFile into URL (binfile:  vFilePath)
 set the filetype to 
  end if
   end if
 end mouseUp

 The saved Pages or Keynote files have zero length. Why is that and how do I
 make this work with any file?

Aren't those actually folders and not simply files?

Would that affect what you are trying to do?
