Word can recover the text, but it's pretty mangled. Oh well.... Does the Apple Script Menu no longer exist, or just the Finder Scripts that were under that menu? The reason I ask, is because I'm running SL, and Finder Scripts were taken out of SL. I had to download the scripts off the web.

Unzip, and place in the /Library/Scripts folder Re: How do you add file extensions to a bunch of files at once? - john-o - 12-01-2011 The menu is gone, but Scripts contains some old stuff... Folder Actions and the like. Your link is broken though...

Just control click and "download image" Re: How do you add file extensions to a bunch of files at once? - john-o - 12-01-2011 Thanks! Got it... Too bad there isn't a script for "Convert old AppleWorks 5 file with stripped resource fork to Word or Pages file"... :confused: G'night!

It should be pretty obvious where to change the types or add new types and folders. set target_folder to (choose folder) There shouldn't be any problems, but use the script on a copy of the folder just in case. |
