I my AS app the following tell block sets a files various properties to different variables
the variables “theDate”, “theSize” etc are then loaded into different text fields as strings.
tell application “Finder”
set theFile to thePath
set theKind to kind of file theFile
set theSize to physical size of file theFile
set theDate to modification date of file theFile
set thecreation to creation date of file theFile
set theTitle to displayed name of file theFile
end tell
I wish to retrieve the icon (or copy of) property of the chosen file “theFile” and load it into an image view
eg:
set theIcon to icon of file theFile
set image of image view “icon” of box “box1” to theIcon
this and many other variations on this example don’t work
any suggestions on where I am going wrong would be appreciated
many thanks
Peter
