osx - Moving files in Applescript, got error: "Finder got an error: Handler can’t handle objects of this class." -

-

i trying move files using applescript, , error every time run app. in contents of app, have file(s) want move (so if distribute app users won't have separately download file(s)). why using ((path home folder text) , adding specific file path past that. here code:

set source ((path home folder text) & "/contents/resources/finder.jpg") set source2 ((path home folder text) & "/contents/resources/finder@2x.jpg")  set destination alias "macintosh hd:system:library:coreservices:dock.app:contents:resources:"  tell application "finder"     move source destination replacing     move source2 destination replacing end tell

p.s. checked every related question/answer there on here, , none helped.

a simple display dialog source have led solution:

  1. path home folder returns alias home folder (macintosh hd:users:your name:). think wanted path me instead points app.
  2. analias text returns path string using : delimiters , append parts use / delimit path components
  3. analias text returns path string ends : in case of directories

summary: try

set source ((path me text) & "contents:resources:finder.jpg")

update: can't use alias ..., better use ... alias , think, maybe duplicate better here...

set source ((path me text) & "contents:resources:finder.jpg") alias set source2 ((path me text) & "contents:resources:finder@2x.jpg") alias  set destination "macintosh hd:system:library:coreservices:dock.app:contents:resources:" alias  tell application "finder"     duplicate source destination replacing     duplicate source2 destination replacing end tell

enjoy, michael / hamburg
