OOps. Or is O-Ops? SetFile is an old MPW tool provided by Apple in the Developer Tools package. On the machine that I copied the AppleScript from I am using a copy kept in my home folder.
You don't need to have all of the developer tools loaded to use it. but you won't find it in /Users/doug/bin anyway. Applescript does demand full paths for such things so you'll need to replace the path in the line that starts with set command to wherever SetFile resides on your machine. Try "which SetFile" in Termnal.app or a BBEdit worksheet. Ask off line if you need a copy of SetFile and don't want to load the developer tools. Apple, Inc. would not approve of posting it here.
