Changing Multiple Icons

[i.shaun]

Is there an apple script or something that can change icons automatically between files?


I have a small movie library, which I created icon files for (with a frame from the movie). I just have to "get info" on each movie individually, and copy the image icon over the movie's generic icon. I can't use poster frames in iTunes/Quicktime because they're not all quicktime compatible, and I didn't want to re-encode everything.


I'm just wondering if it is simple to write a script that will ask for an item (the image), copy it's Icon, then ask for a second item (the movie) and paste the icon to that.


If it is possible, the process would go a little faster both now, and for any others I do in the future.

Alright, I just tried something I googles called "dropplings" which are applescript apps that perform various actions upon dropping a file on them.


I did:

on open files_
	tell application "Finder"
		copy icon of files_ to clipboard
		
	end tell
	
end open

It gives me an error which I believe is due to the fact that this script isn't working with the actual file, but an alias to the file (which would not help because the alias has a generic icon).
