the default application doesn't change to match (though it did when the project came through last year.) It's not that I can't do it some other way, but I only make money with an optimized workflow, which AppleScript definitely offers (at least when I get it up and running. In the case of the scripts I tried, AppleScript does report a change of creator, but. I straighten and crop them one at a time, then resave as compressed tiffs for Quark chapters, where I import them ( and size and scale and position them) folder by folder via AppleScript. In this case, files come in from my scanner to a folder, neatly numbered, and I want to convert them all to open with PPPV on a double-click. Preview is default OSX app of choice, I guess, but as a designer, I open files with GraphicConverter, Photoshop, PaperPort Page Viewer (the 'MAXm' of the sample script) depending on need holding the control key offers me probably 30 apps that read tiffs.
