Can someone tell me what I've done wrong here? Should be a simple
script but I keep getting an error and I can't see why. Basically this:
tell application "Finder"
set these_items to every folder of folder "test Master Database" of
disk "test"
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set this_item to (item i of these_items)
set the item_info to info for this_item
if folder of the item_info is true then
process_folder(this_item)
else if (alias of the item_info is false) then
process_item(this_item)
end if
end repeat
end tell
gets a list of folders as you can see, and then says the first folder
doesn't exist when it tries an "info for". I can't figure out what's
wrong with the syntax though. The line
info for disk "test"
gives the same error, Finder got an error: File some object wasn't found
The debugger output is below - it's OS X 10.2.8 and SD 3.0.6
Thanks,
Steve
tell current application
path to desktop
--> alias "Main Production Mac:Users:steve:Desktop:"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
get every folder of folder "test Master Database" of disk "test"
--> {
folder "Catalogue Production" of folder "test Master Database" of
disk "test",
folder "OUTDOOR PROJECTS CENTER" of folder "test Master Database" of
disk "test",
folder "test EXTRA ONLY" of folder "test Master Database" of disk
"test",
folder "test MAIN DATABASE" of folder "test Master Database" of disk
"test",
folder "test to be Databased" of folder "test Master Database" of
disk "test"
}
info for folder "Catalogue Production" of folder "test Master
Database" of disk "test"
end tell
Script 2nd approach finished
--> Finder got an error: File some object wasn't found.
