Pack Igor Experiments These are two scripts that use AppleScript to open old style Igor files, with their associated folders, and save them in the new Igor Pro style packed file. Both of these scripts require that you have obtained and installed AppleScript. The script marked for systems 7.1.2 and later also assumes the presence of a scriptable Finder. A scriptable finder is included in all Finders after System 7 Pro (AKA 7.1.1). I have not tested this script with System 7.5. The script that uses the finder is a droppable script. Drop a folder that contains old-style Igor files (type "IGSU") on the script, along with another *empty* folder to contain the new packed files. That should be it. Go and get a cup of coffee. This script will also run if double-clicked. You will then get two dialogs asking for source and destination folders. The other script does not use the scriptable Finder. As such it cannot filter for a specific file type, nor can it work in the drop mode. Run the script and you are asked to choose a source and destination folder. The script will then attempt to convert all the files in that folder. It will assume that all folders have the name "Folder" in them (the Igor default) and that all files are old style Igor files. I have not tested this for robustness, so take care to set things up as directed. A final caveat. I wrote these scripts as I am trying to learn AppleScript and it seemed like a good exercise. The kind folks at Wavemetrics have tested them some, but neither I nor they can be responsible for adverse outcomes. -Steve Rauseo (srauseo@david.wheaton.edu)
