Here's the fix...
Authored by: noworryz on Mar 11, '03 12:43:10PM

The hidid program is waiting for a "Yes" to agree to the license. Here's the fixed script, which also works for image files that are not asking you to agree:


#!/bin/csh -f
echo "Y" | /usr/bin/hdid "$1"
if ($status != 0) exit
/usr/bin/open -a "Mail"

Just delete or comment out the last line (with a leading "#") if you don't want to launch an application. Do not delete the first line; it is a special comment.
