Hi there,

From: email@hidden

I've got this applescript that I've written for Mac OS X that works fine in 10.1 and up, but doesn't work in 10.0 because of one line of code. That line of code is:

set name of file file_in_string to "FavoritesOld.html"

where file_in_string is set via:

set file_in_string to (home as string) & ":Library:Preferences:Explorer:Favorites.html"

set the_path to (POSIX path of (((path to preferences) as string) & "Explorer:"))
set the_file to "Favorites.html"
set new_name to "FavoritesOld.html"

do shell script "cd " & the_path & "; mv " & the_file & " " & new_name

with regards,

--
