Is there a less distracting way to get the Finder to update itself, or am I stuck with windows opening and closing all over the place?

There's an update command in the Finder's dictionary.

I've used it successfully on a couple of occasions where the Finder wasn't keeping up with a script.

I just tried that, and it didn't work. Perhaps I am not using "update" correctly. I tried:

update folder "et:cet:ra"
update files of folder "et:cet:ra"
and several others. The script still errors after the file gets overwritten.

This appears to work here:

tell application "Finder" to update every file of folder "et:cet:ra"


I probably should also mention I am on OSX 10.1.3 and Applescript 1.8.2b3

OS 9.1/AppleScript 1.6 here.
