As the "file" property of "attachments" is read only, does this mean it's impossible under OS X to update the path for the attachment if I have it moved by scripting the finder executed by a filter? Or is there some backdoor? Can I perhaps make PowerMail to move the file instead? If so, how? How is the "attachment folder" path stored?
by the way, how do I assign the "attachment folder" path to a variable? When I try with 'set varFolder to "attachment folder" of application' I get "Can't get "attachment folder" of application. Access not allowed". I thought that it should be possible as I can read the property fine. I need this path to prevent other users from having to edit the full concatenated path in the script in order to use it. I do not need to change the property itself, just get the value. This is also not possible or how do I refer to the property? If the answer to the above is it's not possible, may I suggest to CTM Dev that they make it possible to reset a new path for an attachment? This could make possible useful scripts for people that get many attachments, like myself. PM 4.2.1 | OS X 10.2.6 | Powerbook G3/266 | 128 MB RAM | 20 GB HD
