Moving a file to an invisible folder?


  • Subject: Moving a file to an invisible folder?
  • From: Steve Herman <email@hidden>

Is it possible to move a file into an invisible folder using plain vanilla
AppleScript (OS 9.x)?

I can get an alias to the "Cleanup At Startup" folder, but so far I haven't
been able to get the syntax correct to move a file into it... When I do
the move outside a tell block I get an error that the file doesn't
understand the move command, and if I tell Finder to move the file, Finder
tells me the invisible folder doesn't exist.

Thanks for any tips,
Steve
