Ahh... Sounds like an out of memory problem - maybe??. Sorry about that.
When I was testing it on my complete library (about 1800 items) it worked
APART FROM when I asked it to LOG the contents of the 'sellItems' variable,
when it just returned too big a list for the script editor's event log to
handle. R U using OSX? - I'm using 9.1 myself on an ageing 7500 PowerMac
with a G3 card so I haven't tested any of my stuff on OSX.
I am using OSX 10.2.3.
Apple's "Remove Missing Tracks" iTunes script was written for 10.1.3
I believe.
My understanding of X is that memory is handled dynamically. There is
no longer a way to allocate memory to a specific individual
application or process that I know of.
I believe there are some utilities at www.osaxen.com or the Applescript
Sourcebook web-site that allow the allocation of more memory to run scripts
that handle large quantities of data, but I've not needed them myself (when
scripts I use run out of memory I've usually rewritten them to do the job in
a different way). Like you suggested, maybe it's time to ask some of the
more experienced members of this list for help.
Can anyone on the list please shed some light on this for us?
For now you might have to just clean your library in batches. How many
tracks have you got in yours?
Thanks to your script not so many anymore. Usually there are
thousands however, but this number is constantly in flux as I like to
burn audio CDs more than keep things as mp3s...
Problems with the script occurred whenever more than a few dozen
tracks are selected though.
thanx, PETE
