So I have this applescript that tries to grab all images from a folder and sends them to a friend through iMessage.
The folder is structure like so:
Desktop
my-folder
image-1
image-2
image-2
The problem is that when I read all files to a variable as a string and then try to set them to a POSIX file
I get the error:
Messages got an error: Can’t get POSIX file "/Users/user/Desktop/my-folder/image-name".
do shell script "rm -f ~/Desktop/my-folder/.DS_Store"
tell application "System Events"
set imgs to POSIX path of disk items of folder "~/Desktop/my-folder"
end tell
tell application "Messages"
set targetServiceId to id of 1st service whose service type = iMessage
set theBuddy to buddy "redacted phone#" of service id targetServiceId
repeat with img in imgs
set imageAttachment to POSIX file img # errors
send imageAttachment to theBuddy
end repeat
end tell
How can I set imageAttachment
correctly to a POSIX file
so that I can send it with iMessage?
