Applescript to set spotlight comments on multiple files

Simple: iterate through the input items:

on run {input, parameters}

tell application "Finder"

set commento to "my comment"

repeat with each_file in input

set comment of (each_file as alias) to commento

end repeat

return input

end tell

end run

To select a list of Finder files then set the comments all at once, run this Applescript:

tell application "Finder"

activate

set fileList to selection

if (count result) is 0 then

try

get (target of front Finder window) as alias

on error

choose folder with prompt "Set comments of files in this folder:"

end try

try

set theFolder to result

set fileList to every file of folder (result) as alias list

end try

end if

display dialog "Comment:" default answer "" buttons {"Overwrite", "Cancel", "Append"} default button 3 with title "Set Spotlight Comments"

set userInput to the result

set newComment to text returned of userInput

if (button returned of userInput) is "Overwrite" then

if (class of first item of fileList) is alias then

set comment of every file of folder theFolder to newComment

else

repeat with thisFile in fileList

set comment of thisFile to newComment

end repeat

end if

else

repeat with thisFile in fileList

tell thisFile

if length of (comment as text) is not 0 then

get ", " & newComment

else

get newComment

end if

set comment to (comment & result)

end tell

end repeat

end if

end tell
