But have you been able to actually use the scripting addition? My experience
is that it works OK when the script is run from a script editor (Scripter
OMM) but not when its part as an applet. v3.1 might be a little better (I
only downloaded the demo yesterday), but I still get freezeups when I try to
connect to folders on or network.
Maybe I'm just using it incorrectly:
property theFolder : (path to desktop)
SetFileDialogFolder theFolder
set theFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select a subfolder")
display dialog (theFolder as string) & " is the new default folder." buttons
"OK"
The second time you run it, the dialog should open in whatever directory you
selected the first time. But I get intermittent system freezes (OS 9.0.4)
