Recursive alias maker?


  • Subject: Recursive alias maker?
  • From: email@hidden
  • Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 14:46:01 +0000

Is it possible to create a droplet that recursively processes a folder and
makes an alias of each file within the processed folder to another
pre-determined folder.
I have had little success with
on handleItem(theItem)
try
tell application "Finder" to reveal theItem
select file theItem
make new alias file to selection at folder "Itemstocheck"
of desktop -- to destFolderPath

on error j

activate
display dialog "Error was" & j
end try

end handleItem

Is there a limitation I am not aware of ?
any ideas?
appreciation in advance ,
Peter James
