Hi there

This is a quick demonstration of concept of putting a thumbnail icon on txt file used to store graphic information.

Hi Michael,

that is a nifty workaround.

I had to add a second delay

Code: Select all

tell application "Finder"
	activate
	open information window of file POSIX file "filePath"
	tell application "System Events" to key code 48
	delay 1
	tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
        delay 1
	close information window of file POSIX file "filePath"
end tell

Then it worked for me.

Kind regards

plus even a little more

...to go back to livecode again

Code: Select all

tell application "Finder"
	activate
	open information window of file POSIX file "filePath"
	tell application "System Events" to key code 48
	delay 1
	tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
        delay 1
	close information window of file POSIX file "filePath"
end tell

tell application "Livecode"
	activate
end tell

BTW: key code 48 = Tab
