Yep, the same happens when I try a straight drag n'drop. I also tried saving the script as an
application and when I ran it I got an error saying, "can't make 'Users' into an integer" (???).
I've temporarily got round the problem by d/l'g "DotZip" from Script Builders and that works fine
but I'm very puzzled. This is the second time this week that AS has come up with odd errors. I tried
a simple script that attempted to get "timestring" in a date script and that also didn't work (this
on 9.1. and AS 1.6 and also AS 1.8.1 and X.1.3).
As you say, though, it's probably a rogue file/folder. The odd thing is that the script copies the
"invisible" files but baulks when it gets to the "normal" files.
Oh, well. Back to the drawing board...
