Hi!
I am looking for opinions about using "System Events" versus "Finder"
for working around terminology conflicts.
For example, Finder and FileMaker Pro don't interpret the "kind"
keyword equally.
To prevent terminology conflicts and also to avoid creating new
global terms where not needed, we have adopted the Finder's
interpretation of the word "kind" in our scripting addition.
The problem is that scripts using this term don't compile correctly
in FileMaker Pro, and so they don't work. As a workaround, we
recommend to our users to enclose the critical command(s) in the
using terms from application "Finder" block.
I am wondering what other people think about this workaround. Is it
the right one? Shouldn't we use "System Events" rather than "Finder"?
What do you think?
