I am trying to update an OS 9 script for Quark to use in OS X. I think I have the general idea down, but I know I am missing a few details. This script is supposed to check for images that are out of the 85-100% range and drop them into a sub-folder to correct. I have it working to the point of getting the Quark files and opening, then closing. What I am having trouble with is getting the script to communicate to the Finder that a new folder needs to be created if the files are out of the range. I am also having trouble updating the syntax to get the scale of the images in picture boxes. If anyone has a bit of guidance, I would really appreciate it. thanks, Levon [applescript] (** This script does the following: Open a folder and check the contents for Quark files See if any art placed in picture boxes in Quark is less than 85% or greater than 100% Close without saving Place these items in a sub-folder to manually correct **) set FileSample to choose folder set folderName to name of (info for FileSample) tell application "Finder" to set theFiles to files of folder FileSample whose name extension is in {"qxd"} or kind contains "QuarkXPress" or file type is in {"XPRJ", "XPR3"} repeat with oneFile in theFiles tell application "QuarkXPress" activate open (oneFile as alias) tell front document set docName to name repeat with i from 1 to count of picture boxes try set theScale to scale of image 1 of picture box i as list set thisScale to (item 1 of theScale) set imagePath to file path of image 1 of picture box i set imageName to my pathName(imagePath) if thisScale as real is less than "85" or thisScale as real is greater than "100" then tell application "Finder" (move oneFile to folder) make new folder at folderName with properties {name:"Incorrectly Scaled Files"} end tell display dialog "There are files out of scale range in the folder 'Incorrectly Scaled Files.' Please manually fix the files and then re-run this script." end if end try end repeat close saving no end tell end tell end repeat [/applescript] Levon Spradlin Desktop Publishing Technology Manager, Assessment & Information Pearson 512-989-5300 x 3989 [log in to unmask] **************************************************************************** This email may contain material confidential to Pearson.
