That is basically what I have and it works with 9.2.1. My problem is
8.1 doesn't work. So this is what I was thinking from previous scripts
I have seen....
Count items in a folder and set to N
Repeat script for each item in folder N times
I can't remember the syntax I saw, I just remember it counted the number
of folders in the folder and acted on each one at a time. This I think
would get around my script limit on 8.1, it would always treat it as if
there was only one folder I am trying to upload, it just repeats the
command how many times it needs to.
Has anyone done these repeats like I am talking about?
Thanks, Bryan.

I don't know abour8.1 but here is a droplet that will make a text file
of
aliases of all files in a folder including subfolders;
on open (Dropped)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
tell application "Finder"
write ((entire contents of (Dropped as alias)) as text) to
(make new
file at desktop)
set creator type of file "Apple:Desktop Folder:untitled" to
"TBB6"
end tell
end open
You need to change the "TBB6" to your Text Editors creator for the icon
to
be findable if your desktop is very cluttered like mine.
Does anyone know if I need a scripting addition for 8.1 or perhaps have
a loop function that breaks the folder down to one folder at a time? I
think I have see that before, can someone point me in the right
direction?
