Hi everyone,
Sorry to insist on this question but can anyone tell why is this folder
action giving me error -2753 everytime I run it
-------------------------------------------------------------------
property disk_name : path to startup disk
property storage_folder : " 04 Rev. pag."
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder" of machine "Impressor" of zone "Producao"
set nameList to the name of every process
if nameList contains "Impressor 1.0.1.app" then
set theLabel to 1
else
set theLabel to 0
end if
end tell
set aData to my getDate(current date)
repeat with ThisItem in added_items
tell application "Finder"
set the label index of ThisItem to theLabel
AkuaCopy ThisItem to "Paginas:Cad. p/ acabar:Testes:" with
overwriting
set the name of ThisItem to ("x" & name of ThisItem)
move file ThisItem to folder (storage_folder & aData as string)
of disk disk_name with replacing
end tell
end repeat
end adding folder items to
on getDate(theDate)
-- French Vanilla Date Handler -- Format: dd/mm/yyyy
copy theDate to b
set month of b to January
set theShortDate to text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & (theDate's day) + 1) & "/"
& ,
text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & (1 + (theDate - b + 1314864) div 2629728))
& ,
"/" & (text -2 thru -1 of (year of theDate as string))
end getDate
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If I remove this piece of code,
tell application "Finder" of machine "Impressor" of zone "Producao"
set nameList to the name of every process
if nameList contains "Impressor 1.0.1.app" then
set theLabel to 1
else
set theLabel to 0
end if
end tell
From the script everything runs ok. In the Applescript Language Guide in the
section of Applescript errors this error is documented as
-2753 The variable <name> is not defined
What variable in this case ? Should be something inside the tell app
"Finder" of machine ... Anyone ? This thing is driving me mad.
Thanks
