Black boxes replace images in Mojave (Was "No subject")

[Phil Davis]

As it turns out, the Remove script uses the sips command.

    (*
    Remove
    ©2009 Apple, Inc.

    Use sips to remove embedded profile and color management data from
    an image.
    *)

    on run
         display dialog "Remove the embedded profile from an image."
         set chosenFile to choose file with prompt "Choose an image "
    default location path to desktop folder
         open chosenFile
    end run


    on open draggedItems
         repeat with thisFile in (draggedItems as list)
             try
                 -- use 'sips -d profile' to remove an embedded profile
                 -- or use 'sips -d profile
    --deleteColorManagementProperties' to remove an embedded profile and
    other color related info
                 set filePath to quoted form of POSIX path of thisFile
                 set cmdLine to ("sips -d profile
    --deleteColorManagementProperties " & filePath) as string
                 do shell script cmdLine
             end try
         end repeat
    end open
