FWIW, I tried some time ago to use SE instead of the Finder for some stuff,
and found it failed. This was both before and after installing the 1.2 beta.
But I can't remember the exact error -- my vague recollection is that there
was none, but nothing happened, either.
Let me try again:
set x to "Macintosh HD:BV receipt.pdf"
set y to "Macintosh HD:Users:shane:Documents:Jobs:Bikes:"
tell application "System Events"
move file x to folder y -- appears in log but nothing happens
duplicate file x -- error type 10
move file x to folder y -- error type 6
end tell
There's life in the old Finder yet...
