I don't often save scripts as applications, now I have. It's a small finder script that hides all processes.

It runs perfectly until the end when the app quits and throws an error -108 saying "Could not save changes to "Hide All Apps" because there is not enough memory". There aren't any explicit changes to save (the script appears below), what is it trying to do at the point that the error is thrown up?

------
tell application "Finder"

It's probably trying to save this:

set _apps to every process

Top level variables in command handlers are treated somewhat like properties.

repeat with i in _apps
try -- because a few things, like control strip won't obey
set visible of i to false
end try
end repeat
end tell

Options that come to mind:

(1) Don't declare it as a top level variable;



Yes, that's the trick


tell application "Finder"
repeat with i in (every process)
try
set visible of i to false
end try
end repeat
end tell
