It seems to me it might be a problem with Palm Desktop specifically... could it be?
I haven't got Palm so...
Otherwise, the one liner works fine for me on any other apps.

Yes, it's likely related to the hierarchy within PD's package.

tell application "Finder"
application file id "POrg" as text
end tell

--> HD:Applications:Palm:Palm Desktop:Contents:MacOSClassic:Palm Desktop

Except OMM I actually get Palm Desktop's package, not the Mac app within.

So now we need to determine the difference between the PD on the machines where it gets the package and the PD on the machines where it gets the nested app.

My guess is it's probably to do with either the .plist or PkgInfo files somehow not properly identifying the package itself as type 'POrg'.

My copy, which identifies the package itself, has the following info:

Version: 4.0
Created: Fri, Mar 8, 2002, 10:00 AM
Modified: Fri, Mar 8, 2002, 10:16 AM

* In the package at the same level of Contents is an alias to the nested app.

* In the Contents folder is a PkgInfo containing "APPLPOrg".
* In the Contents folder is an Info.plist file which contains
a CFBundleSignature of POrg.

And I am running Jaguar version 10.2.6.

Oh, and I have occasionally run JCC (Jaguar Cache Cleaner), although not any time recently.


-boo
thinking we will need something more than a one-liner because of this
new snafu we've discovered.
