Hi all, I'm wondering how to debug folder actions, a little better
than "display dialog".  Can I get Applescript to log to syslog or
somewhere tail-able?


Script Debugger is the best tool for this. You save the script with
debugging on, then when it's triggered the script is opened in SD so you can
step through it.


thanks Shane. But it looks like SD doesn't do this under Tiger and AS Studio.

NOTE: AppleScript Studio under Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) no longer supports Script Debugger's AppleScript Debugger. As a result, the changes that improve Script Debugger 3.0.9's ability to debug AppleScript Studio projects are only usable under Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) or Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2). We have filed a bug with Apple requesting that they reinstate the ability to use alternate debuggers within AppleScript Studio. If you need this capability be sure to let Apple know (Radar bug number 4109001).

The old debugger in HyperCard was spot on. And i guess Frontier is no longer used for AppleScript under OSX. Does Supercard (or derivatives) have any OSA capabilities? OOps, showing my age here!
