Finder label texts

External Since: Jan 02, 2006 Posts: 196

Hi,
it's easy to get a file's label *number*:

set f to (choose file)
tell application "Finder"
get label index of f --as text
end tell

But how do I get the text?
By somehow reading the Finder preferences?

I guess you mean "comment":

tell application "Finder"
tell file someFilePath
set its comment to "Some comment text"
get its comment
end tell
end tell
