On 11/29/2000, Carl West commented on "Quitting an applet?":

I want my script to quit if the user presses a particular button. It's
not happening.

Sorry, I can't offer any suggestions because I'm having a similar problem with the following script (droplet):

For the record, /r = continuation character

-------------------------------------------

on open fileList

set itemCount to count items in fileList

tell application "Finder"
open file "Screenshots.sit" of disk "Win 95"
end tell

tell application "StuffIt Deluxe"
repeat with i from 1 to itemCount
stuff alias i of fileList into archive item /r
"Screenshots" of archive "Screenshots.sit" /r
compression level maximum
end repeat
quit
end tell

end open

-------------------------------------------

This script will stuff the first item in fileList and then just quit doing anything, with StuffIt Deluxe remaining the frontmost application. If I activate the script again via the Application Menu, it finishes executing as written and quits. The weird thing is that when it is activated this way, StuffIt Deluxe does not come to the front again, even though it is still finishing its tasks.

Any ideas why the script is losing control of things? Any ideas on how to fix it?

FYI - OS 9.0.4 and AppleScript 1.4.3.

Thanks for any insight you might offer.

Later,
