Greets to all
I am still having a problem with the "choose folder" Command.
And a rather intersting one.
This is the second situation where this has popped up.
[2 different users, 2 different scripts]
Could you reproduce here the code portions surrounding the "choose
folder" statement?
As well as, one never knows, see if the problematic machines differ in
their hardware (for examples, with regard to peripherals).
The scripts work perfectly on all Jaguar systems.
They also run perfectly on most Panther systems.
BUT
On these 2 Panther 10.3.2 systems when the "choose folder" is called
there is no "Choose" button to choose - only an "Open" button.
If you choose the "Open" button the script crashes.
In your previous post, you didn't speak about a crash.
Which behavior exactly are you encountering?
It was suggested that a Quark 6 scripting addition could be causing
the problem.
That addition was present.
We removed it and rebooted the computer.
Should not have been needed, but like chicken soup... ;-)
This did not fix the problem.
That idea about a scripting addition interfering with Standard Additions
is still not to be neglected.
Could you have a look at every place where scripting aditions may be
put, ie:
startupdisk:System:Library:ScriptingAdditions:
startupdisk:Library:ScriptingAdditions:
startupdisk:Users:thisuser:Library:ScriptingAdditions:
and tell us what you find there (name, version)?
HELP!!!
Thanks in advance to all

In the hope it will possible to find an explanation,
Axel
For informational purposes, I reproduce hereafter your previous post:

Greetings to all,
Interesting question [at least to me] about OS scripting success.
I write my scripts on a G3 PowerBook using Jaguar 10.2.8
One of my users has an iMac G4 running Panther 10.3.2
My scripts don't work on this machine.
A Second user [at the next desk] has a PowerMac G4 tower running
Panther 10.3.2
My scripts run just fine on this machine.
In a different situation:
When I call a "set theFolderRef to choose folder" command it works
perfectly on most machines.
BUT
this user's computer [G4 Tower - Panther 10.3.2] acts like it is
running the "choose folder" routine
BUT
After navigating to the folder and hiliting it - there is no "Choose"
button. There is only an "Open" button.
Clicking on the button proceeds to open the 77 image files in "Preview".
I don't want to open the files - all I want to do is choose the folder
they are in in order to get a list of their names.
This works perfectly on my machine and on 3 others - 2 running Panther.
What gives?
Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance - You all are the greatest.
Oakley
