Re: Can't consistently make alias folder

Wondering if someone can help with this...

I’m making an alias to a folder of scripts at the user’s root level. Most of the time this script works, but sometimes I get an error that says “Can’t make class <<alia>> error.

The line that is erroring is inside a Finder tell block that says:

make new alias file at folder (alias "Macintosh HD:Users:jim:Library:Scripts:Applications:") to "Macintosh HD:Jim Scripts:Script Menu:Illustrator:" with properties {name:"Adobe Illustrator 10"}

Your 'to' parameter should be a Finder reference or AppleScript alias value, not a string. Not that you should really be dumping scripts at / anyway; use ~/Library/Scripts for per-user scripts and /Library/ Scripts for system-wide ones with permissions set appropriately, and they should all show up in the Script menu automatically.
