Aloha,
semi urgent...
Recent upgrade on the fab photo processing tool DXO got us in trouble
because it's outputting .tiff files with no resource fork and
dropping the creator and type on OSX 10.5.4
The pre-press team is asking me if i can write a widget to poke TIFF
and 8BIM back into the type and creator slots of the resource fork...
Anyone know if we can do this in revolution?
You've probably already done this with the AppleScript solution, but
for future reference, you can set a Mac file type using the "filetype"
property. So all you'd need to do is something like this:
set the filetype to "????TIFF"
put url ("binfile:myfile") into url ("binfile:myNewFile")
Just for the record, if you are trying to set a file type on stacks,
you need to use the "stackfiletype" instead.
I saw the docs on setting the filetype as an environment global before
writing, andyes:
global gCTCPath
on mouseUp
put fld "Listing" into tFiles
repeat for each line x in tFiles
put gCTCPath &"/"& (item 1 of x) into tFile
set the filetype to "8BIMTIFF"
put url ("binfile:"&tFile) into url ("binfile:"&tFile&"-1")
end repeat
end mouseUp
works fine. But we prefer to avoid copying these files (some are huge)
if possible
For the applescript solution, my rev code is working but not my
applescript (there is no "the" in the
syntax, which i found on the web:)
My script builds this script which should work (I always test in
Applescript itself...)
tell application "Finder"
set creator type of "Macintosh HD:Users:sivakatirswami:Desktop:_temp:a
tst creator:image.tiff" to "8BIM"
set file type of "Macintosh HD:Users:sivakatirswami:Desktop:_temp:a tst
creator:image.tiff" to "8BIM"
end tell
generates an error:
Can’t set «class fcrt» of "Macintosh
HD:Users:sivakatirswami:Desktop:_temp:a tst creator:image.tiff" to "8BIM".
And since I don't have a clue what "class fcrt" means... I'm stuck.
