tell application “Finder”
if folder “PNGS” exists then
delete folder “PNGS”
end if
make new folder with properties {name:“PNGS”}
duplicate (every file whose file type = “.png”) to folder “PNGS”
end tell
but it doesn’t work and i can’t seem to find any way to do this…
Your’re not specific enough with your instructions. if exists folder “PNGS” will only detect PNGs if it is on your desktop - the default location in which the Finder will look. Otherwise, you’ll have to specify a better path.
Next, the file type of a file with a png extension is PNGf. You can discover this like this:
tell application "Finder" to set T to file type of (choose file) -- chooose a file of interest
Also, (every file whose file type is “.png” [no such thing]) would refer to the desktop, since you didn’t specify a place to look.
