Re: osax

I forgot one crucial coercion 'as alias' to go here:

set millisecOsax to POSIX file millisecOsaxPath as alias

Otherwise the Finder can't handle it. So ;


--creates the osax folders if they don't exist
set localOsaxFolderPath to (path to scripting additions from local
domain as Unicode text)
set userOsaxFolderPath to (path to scripting additions from user domain
as Unicode text)

try -- don't install it in user folder if already in local folder
get alias (localOsaxFolderPath & "GetMilliSec.osax")
on error
try -- don't install it if already there
get alias (userOsaxFolderPath & "GetMilliSec.osax")
on error
-- find it in your bundle
set millisecOsaxPath to path for "GetMilliSec" extension "osax"
--convert to colon-delimited path as an alias
set millisecOsax to POSIX file millisecOsaxPath as alias
tell application "Finder" to duplicate millisecOsax to folder
userOsaxFolderPath
end try
end try
