Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
The following minimalist droplet script gladly converts TIFFs to PICTs in OSX using GraphicConverter. on open theFiles tell application "GraphicConverter" activate repeat with SingleFile in theFiles open SingleFile as alias save window 1 as PICT close window 1 end repeat end tell end open Unlike when saving files in a new format in GC via the GUI, however, it leaves the filename alone, overwriting the original file.tiff. OSX then continues to call the file a TIFF because of the bogus extension, and I have other reasons to want to force a change to file.pict. I thought it should be simple to find the offset of the period in the name of window 1, strip off TIFF, add PICT, and save window 1 as PICT in new_name. I can't get offset to work. I have the StandardAdditions.osax in place. Can't I do set infileName to the name of window 1 as string set periodOffset to (offset of "." in infileName ) inside the above tell application GC block? I get weird errors (changing somewhat depending on how I flail about) about the inability to get "." in infilename, as if offset had no meaning inside the tell block. Any approaches to solving this certainly trivial problem would be most appreciated.
