I recently put in a new hard disk in my machine, slaving my old drive to
the new, and copying all my stuff over to the new drive (the old one
eventually to be erased and sued as a home base for OS X.)
This means that I have, for now, copies of all of my applications on
both drives. Now, my applescripts compiled on the previous disk all try
to launch the copies on the old disk, instead of the new, startup disk.
Fine, I thought, I'll just rebuild my desktop, open the scripts in
script editor, and let them re-compile. But that didn't help.
Finally, the only way I've been able to force teh scripts to launch the
applications on the new drive was to stuff the copies of the apps on the
oldd rive, delete the originals, and recompile the script, forcing it to
find the copies on the new drive through the familiar "Where is..."
dialogs.
Is there a way I missed to force my scripts to open the copies of
applications on my new startup disk, short of deleting copies on other
disks, as I was forced to do?
