Finder scripting refers to the use of AppleScript and an application such as the
Script Editor to write, record, or run scripts that trigger actions in the Finder.
This chapter introduces Finder scripting. It also describes how to
■ record your actions in the Finder in the form of a script
■
modify recorded Finder scripts
■
begin writing Finder scripts
This chapter assumes that you know how to use the Script Editor application to
run a script. It also assumes that you understand how commands and object
names can be combined in Tell statements to describe actions performed by an
application. If these concepts are not familiar, read Part I of the AppleScript
Language Guide before reading this chapter.
Installation 1
If you obtained the Finder scripting software with the AppleScript Scripter’s
Toolkit, you can install it by running the Installer program on the AppleScript
Setup disk. After the Installer opens, click the Customize button, then select
the item named Finder Scripting Software and click Install. If you obtained
the Finder scripting software on a disk that updates an older version of the
AppleScript Scripter’s Toolkit, run the Installer program that’s included on the
update disk and click the Install button after the Installer opens.
Finder scripting requires System 7.1 or later versions of system software.
Versions later than System 7 Pro (System 7.1.1) include the Finder scripting soft-
ware, which is installed automatically when you install the system software.
