On the Dutch Mac forum someone gave me this script for selecting a folder with images, and putting them into a list and importing it in Quark.
set picFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Selecteer een map met afbeeldingen") as string
set picList to list folder picFolder without invisibles
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
activate
tell document 1
repeat with eachFile in picList
set lastPage to count of pages
show page lastPage
try
tell picture box 1 of page lastPage
set image 1 to (picFolder & eachFile) as alias
set bounds of image 1 to proportional fit
end tell
end try
make page at end
end repeat
end tell
end tell
when I run the script it stops at this line:
list folder picFolder without invisibles
another person on the dutch forum also gave me this code, to try if that might work:
try
tell application "Finder" to set the picFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Selecteer een map met afbeeldingen") as alias
try
set picList to list folder picFolder without invisibles
on error
display dialog "Error! could not set piclist to list folder" buttons {"Exit"} default button 1 with icon stop
end try
on error
display dialog "Error! could not set alias for chosen folder" buttons {"Exit"} default button 1 with icon stop
end try
but the script still stops running at the same line.
It keeps givving an error.
It seems to work for all the other persons, except for me
What could this be? Could it be a bug in my AppleScript version?
I’m using v1.7 under Mac OS 9.2 and Quark 5
