This works:
set oneImage to choose file --> alias "Bill'sHD:images:filename.jpg"
tell application "GraphicConverter"
open oneImage
set theInfo to get file imageinfo oneImage
end tell
This doesn't:
-->"File someobject wasn't found.
OK,. this works:
set oneFolder to "Bill'sHD:images:"
set oneFile to "filename.jpg"
set oneImage to oneFolder & oneFile as string
tell application "GraphicConverter"
open alias oneIImage
end tell
But this doesn't:
tell application "GraphicConverter"
open alias oneImage
set theInfo to get file imageinfo oneImage
end tell
-->"System error "File not found; Folder not found;(-[43)"
Putting an alias in front of the imageinfo call also doesn't work.
The dictionary says
get file imageinfo?v : get some information about the file content
from the file reference
get file imageinfo
? list of string : returns the info as an array {"width", "height",
"x-resolution", "y-resolution", "mode", "bit depth", "format"}
Not really clear about where the file reference is supposed to go.
I'm sure this is one of those stupid arcane things about how the
filename is presented, but you'd think Graphic Converter would at
least be consistent within itself.
I can get what I want with "image dimension of window 1" but I want
to know what's going on here.
