Hi Paul,
Which script editor are you using? With the beta release of the new
script editor, it will be important for people on this list to state
which version of the editor they are using when they report problems.
Thanks,

It's doing it again. This is very serious. Something is corrupting my

such that 'store script updaterScript in updaterScriptFile replacing

instead writes the entire 100K main script to the other file, with

properties, deleting the other script entirely and not updating its own
properties either. Very, very, very bad bug.

I'm completely baffled. And once again I _cannot_ replicate with a

(100
K text).
At the end of the main script run, it loads and stores another, short
script:
Instead of storing the new 'recordedSync' property in
updaterScriptFile ,
and saving its own changed properties when it quits, it stores
ITSELF -
the entire 100 K script - in updaterScriptFile! And not in the usual
fashion - when I open updaterScriptFile in Script Debugger, it's as
if I
pasted in the main script and compiled it! The original Updater
Script is
completely lost. (Fortunately I had a backup.) Furthermore, all the
properties of the main script have been properly updated in this
perverse
transfer to updaterScriptFile, but in the main script itself, no
property
has been updated. The properties there are back to what they were
before
the main script run!
So the whole main script instance in memory has been saved to the
wrong
file. What in God's name is going on? The bug is with 'store
script': if
I remove that line then the main script saves all its own changed
properties in itself, as it should.
Is this yet another bug with long scripts? As I say, I can't
replicate
with two tiny scripts here: there's no problem.
