--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?
George,
My advice is just don't use folder actions. They are inherently buggy and
unreliable in my experience. (I am still running Panther and am not sure if
any of this was fixed in Tiger.) I would save yourself a whole lot of
trouble and just start using stay open scripts with idle handlers instead. I
have all of my pseudo-folderaction scripts running on a different user
account of my computer that is always logged in in the background (enable
fast user switching). This is a great way to keep the automation running all
the time without using another machine to do it. I can send you an example
if you like.
