Accessing file meta data

Post by Simon Knight » Sat Nov 21, 2020 10:02 am

Hi,
I'm writing on a mac but I think my question is valid for other operating systems. I would like to read and write values to file tags which are part of a files meta data. I have searched the dictionary but not found any information, so I may have missed something. I suspect that I will be able to read and write tags using a shell command or "gulp" applescript but I am surprised that there does not appear to be any method of achieving the read/write in Livecode Script.

Any thoughts ?

best wishes

:Oops: - I have just discovered I asked a very similar question back in 2017. Any ideas of how I can get a brain upgrade ?
