On 3/5/02, someone named Gnarlodious asked:

Did someone write a script for Script Debugger's script menu that will open
the enclosing Finder window of the frontmost script?
Thanks

Here's a revised version of my earlier attempt. Due to the recent threads here regarding nested tells, I revisited the script and tidied it up a bit. :P

-- Begin Script v2 - watch for line wraps --

tell application "Script Debugger" to set scriptPath to file spec of front script window

if scriptPath is missing value then
display dialog "The current script hasn't been saved to disk. No further action will be taken." buttons {"OK"} default button 1 giving up after 5
error number -128
end if

tell application "Finder" to set folPath to container of scriptPath as text
set folderInfo to info for folPath

if name of folderInfo is not "Desktop Folder" then
tell application "Finder" to open folder folPath
else
display dialog "This script is in the Desktop Folder (it can't be opened)." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end if

-- End Script v2 --

I suppose this will hit the list before my first response and confuse everyone. The list server has been severely delaying my posts lately. :-(

Later,
