Hi..

OS 9.2.2, AppelScript 1-1.7

I'm quite sure it freezes beacuse if i try to get info for folder instead of
a file it works.

Below is my current source code:

property targetPath: "HD:theFolder:"
property targetFolder: 0

on run
set targetFolder to alias targetPath
end run

on idle
folderChanged(targetFolder)
return 60
end idle

on folderChanged(f)
set these_items to list folder f without invisibles
repeat with i in these_items
set this_item to alias ((f as text) & i)
set the item_info to info for this_item
if (folder of item_info is true) then
beep
end if
end repeat
end folderChanged

This simple script will just scan a folder and beep one time for each
subfolder found. If the targatFolder only contains folders it works. If I
put a text file in the folder it doesn't work.

Really strange, been stuck with this a day now :-(

/Martin

Damn. What are your OS and AppleScript versions?

Anyway, are you sure it is a freeze?
For example, applied to a disk or folder, "info for" may last for a very
long time, as it has to calculate the item's size.

And are you sure the freeze occurs at "info for"?
Could you provide us with the minimal and unchanged code snippet
provoking the symptom on your computer?
