What is the best way to handle a path that includes an aliased folder?
I have a number of scripts that use paths where the target files have been
moved. Rather than find and edit all these scripts with the new and now
much longer path, I wanted to instead add some folder aliases with short
names.
For example, this might the old path with no aliased folders in it:
"MacBert:Development:projectN:"
would have become:
"MacBert:Applications (Mac OS 9):Development:projectN:"
but I'd like to use something like
"MacBert:Dev:projectN:"
^^^
alias to "MacBert:Applications (Mac OS 9):Development:"
But while Script Editor will "check syntax" okay, it gives an execution
error "Folder MacBert:Dev:projectN: wasn't found"
How do I get this to work?
Thanks,
Taylor
