The new version 2.7.1 of CDFinder has again an extended AppleScript ability.
It is now possible to access the basic catalog and catalog folder info in a real object structured manner. Here is the new part of the dictionary. In addition, the preferences section contains two new properties that contain the number of catalogs and catalog folders. I know, I should have included a count command, but the implementation of it was much more complicated than I thought and I will add it in a later version.
As you can see, you can change the name, the comment, the label, and the selection of a catalog and also a catalog folder. It is also possible to open or close a catalog folder by changing the is open property.
The actual contents of a catalog will be revealed in a later version!
A new event will reveal a catalog or catalog folder in the main window. That event will of course later be used for other classes, too.
