Thanks for trying. Unfortunately the command does not work when the alias and the target are on different volumes. There is no mention of alias in the result :
which I guess means it is a different kind of "link". This is back to the start as the Livecode and the Applescript functions have the same issue : when asked the "alias" reports its kind as that of the target so therefore there is no alias. Whats annoying is that MacOS displays the details when a command I is made on the "alias". This is from an alias that points to a target on second mounted volume as can be seen in the "Where" and "Original" fields above. The challenge is discovering how MacOS sees the "Kind" as alias and resolves the path to the target file. Probably worth mentioning that the Livecode commandcom.adobe.raw-image
Code: Select all
If tFileName is a File
