I have a script. It's a folder action script. It runs fine in Script Editor
under 9 and X.

But in 9's Finder, I get an Out of Memory error immediately. It sets a
variable, then tries to load a script file and dies...

...Then I noticed the Folder Actions extension, which does have a SIZE
resource. Is this what I should change?

Yep. I don't use FAs, but this one has come up here before. The allocation is insufficient for some things.


I'm going to try it, but I'm
wondering if there's any pointers out there that are easier to do than
this.

Use something (AS will do it) to change the file type of the Folder Actions extension to "APPL", then set the memory allocation in 'Get Info' and change the file type back to whatever it was - "appe" - I think. You'll also have to turn it off first, which also be done with AS - if it's in the list of running processes, just tell it to quit.

Standard Caveat - work on a copy unless you're totally confident of what you're doing, or know you have a backup copy close by.

Cheers,
