Clipping Problem

[jonn8]

I can make a clipping file with the following code but it doesn’t set the contents to anything. I tried coercing the contents string to Unicode and several other classes but no go. For some reason it also needs the “to” parameter even though that doesn’t appear to do anything. Has anyone else had success with this?

tell application “Finder”
set the_clipping to make new clipping at desktop with properties {name:“Clip Me”, contents:“This is the content of the clipping.”, kind:“Text Clipping”} to “anything”
return properties of the_clipping
end tell

I explored this recently and was pretty much informed that it can’t be done without resorting to the shell or writing resources. Nobody offered code. :?

Hmm, that stinks. Thanks for the info, Rob.
