Here's an odd thing.
I'm using an applet that tidies away stuff dropped onto it. When a locked
file is among the detritus, I get that pesky dialog warning me that I won't
be able to save any changes & asking do I want to open the document anyway.
Excuse me? (This dialog is irritating enough when you actually want to open
the file. Any suggestions as to how I can rid myself of it forever warmly
received.)
If I click cancel, the droplet quits, if I click OK, the droplet runs as
expected but the locked file does not open... er... pff.
Is there something about the 'on open' thing in droplets that makes a file
think it's being opened when it's simply being moved? Is this a widely known
bug? Is there a work-around?
I've been fighting this for months. Most recent try is;
Tell Application "Finder"
end tell
Dropping a locked file on this results in the same, locked file,
message. Sounds like a Finder level bug to me.
