I do this:
set theDir to "Macintosh HD:Users:jeff"
tell application "Finder"
set theSize to physical size of folder theDir
end tell
log (theSize) --> "missing value"
Sometimes the tell block works (returns a value in theSize),
sometimes it doesn't (returns "missing value" almost immediately).
In both cases, theDir is correctly pointing to my home directory.
There is no error (try block). Why would the Finder occasionally
refuse to return the size?
(I'm using AppleScript Studio, OS 10.2.3. I've also seen this happen
in Script Debugger.)
