When you are open the Finder Applescript dictionary there a at least 2 ways to give a folder or a file a label.

  • by label index (integer)
  • by label name (Unicode Text)
    Label index is working but label name gives the following error:
    Finder got an error: Can’t set label “Finder” of alias “BACKUP:Users:Administrator:Desktop:Source1:00090021:” to “Red”.

Can anyone tell me what’s the problem?

set myPath to (choose folder with prompt "choose")
tell application "Finder"
	set label index of myPath to 2
	set label name of myPath to "Red"
end tell
#2

In my Finder’s dictionary it says that label name is not available yet. Index is there among the properties of Finder items.

#3

I see this when I look at the Finder’s dictionary:

Label
label (record)(NOT AVAILABLE YET) A Finder label (name and color)

Hope that helps!
