I'm using 'export image' to put an image into a file without invoking a 'save'
dialog - this is what my user wants. However, I can't see any obvious way of
knowing that the new image has the same name has an existing one and would
therefore overwrite it. I set up a button that does
on mouseUp
put the defaultFolder into temp
export img "ThePic"to URL ("binfile:" & temp &"/meagain.jpg") as JPEG
put "it= " &&"; result="&&(the result)
end mouseUp
However may times I do this, I always get the file "meagain.jpg" with no
indication of any difference between the first and subsequent invocations.
Obviously I can search the directory myself to look for the recurrence of the
file name, and I guess that's what I'm going to do,but I wondered if anyone
knows if this form of statement in LC produces any kind of error message and if
so, how one can detect it. After all, any kind of 'write file' operation can
fail.
TIA
Graham
