This is annoying

In OS9

I could use a script like

tell application "finder"
set  label index of selection to 4
end tell

In OS bloody X (tiger)

I have to use a repeat for each item in the selection.

Which is much slower than the OS9 script.

anyone found a way to do this ( without installing anything like osxutils)

Cheers

Hi, Mark.

The OS X Finder does seem lame when you’re used to scripting OS 9. The ‘selection’ reference is a case in point. It can only be got; it can’t be extended to the properties of the selected items.

You get used to it after a couple of years. :wink:
