Desperately Seeking — AppleScript Help
OS 10.3.9, Script editor 2.0 (v43), AppleScript 1.9.3
Client wants me to open a folder of Quark 4, 5 documents & save as Quark 6.5 documents.
I have a script to dig into folders within folders which contain image and font and text and Quark documents. I have used it to change file type to XPRJ. No good; client wants to open, then save in the new version, and in the same folder they came from. Choose folder entire contents option gets me a list of Quark documents.
I'm not understanding many things, but in particular
1. Is file type "XDOC" enough to isolate only Quark documents?
2. A repeat loop allows me to open individual Quark files. How do I isolate the original file name? (They open as Project files.)
3. I need a Close/Save/Save as that takes the path name (which I'm having trouble forming), appends the original file name (which I am also having trouble with), and ends up in the original folder without user intervention (that is, a writeover without warning & requiring operation action).
4. Thank you.
