What changed in Lion?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I used this script and it worked fine till I upgrade to Lion

set inputfolder to (choose folder)

set textutilPath to "/usr/bin/textutil"

-- get the input webarchive file and variables
set webarchiveFile to choose file with prompt "Choose the webarchive file to convert to rtfd:" without invisibles

-- calculate the output rtfd path
set rtfdPath to (webarchiveFile as text) & ".rtfd"

-- convert webarchive to rtfd
do shell script quoted form of textutilPath & " -format webarchive -convert rtfd -output " & quoted form of POSIX path of rtfdPath & space & quoted form of POSIX path of webarchiveFile

Now as I open it it runs forever and nothing happens

Do I need to change anything or Applescript in Lion is not longer supported?

Thanks everyone

Have you tried the shell script in Terminal?

#3

Yes and still it runs forever with no results

There are no “errors” if I select the “force quit” command as
Applescript seems to be running fine

Mysteries of Lion and this is just one

I looked at the manual page (man textutil) for textutil and didn’t know where you got the “-format” thing. Try this in terminal first:

textutil -convert rtfd /path/to/webarchive

“-format” is used to specify the type of file, but textutil will automatically figure out what kind of file it is (in your case, a webarchive)
