osx - Applescript - Copy Image, Paste as Icon -


for organizational purposes, via hotkey, i'd able copy selected image file (as in finder), paste icon selected folder, without having go 'get info' folder.

is possible?

you need 2 scripts: 1 copy image (not file image itself), other paste image icon.
copy image:

tell application "finder"     open selection using (path application "preview") -- open preview end tell  tell application "preview"     tell application "system events"         keystroke "a" using command down -- select         keystroke "c" using command down -- copy         keystroke "w" using command down -- close window     end tell end tell 

paste image icon:

tell application "finder"     activate     tell application "system events"         keystroke "i" using command down -- open info          -- set focus on icon image         tell process "finder"             set img (image 1 of scroll area 1 of front window)             set focused of img true         end tell          keystroke "v" using command down -- insert image         keystroke "w" using command down -- close window     end tell end tell 

than can bind these 2 scripts hotkeys. use fastscripts purpose.

note 1: may need enable access assistive devices under systempreferences -> accessibility
note 2: if parts of scripts not work (for example preview opened, image not selected, etc.) should try play delays.
