You need to change the timeout settings for the script:


with timeout of 300 seconds

-- do your stuff here

end timeout


This will give the script a 5 minute timeout. You can change the number of seconds as needed.

Good luck!

This script works just fine, however it takes several minutes to do the whole thing. About two minutes into the script's action I get an Applescript error

"Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out"

The script completes correctly. Is there a way to suppress this error?

OSX 10.3.8

Thanks
