Well gawwwllllly, Sgt Carter, there is an update command!

Unfortunately, update doesn't do what I want it to. That is to update the Finders index of what's in the folder. After writing 20 files to a folder I get 0 as the count unless I open the folder. That seems to refresh or update the index or whatever OS X uses.

Strangely enough I'm getting error 43 (file not found) but I'm getting it after I find the new files. My replace routine occasionally chops off the extension of the file name. Then I get the error.

set dbName to name of x
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the " Recovered"
set reName to every text item of the dbName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set reName to reName as string

I wonder if this is a file naming, extension type of issue, hmmm.
