Strange Finder behaviour


  • Subject: Strange Finder behaviour
  • From: James Dessart <email@hidden>

I'm getting some strange behaviour with the move command in Finder.
Here's the immediately relevant code:

					set newFolder to make new folder at folder (tempFolder as alias)
					set the name of newFolder to versionString
					move toolsFolder to newFolder

I know that toolsFolder is a valid folder, because I got its items
earlier. But here's the exact error message:

Finder got an error: Can't get folder "Tools" of folder
"TemporaryItems" of folder "501" of folder "tmp" of item "private" of
startup disk. (-1728)

This error gets shown when the code above hits the move command.

Strange that it would have been able to get the items from the folder,
but that it can't access it to move it. Does anyone have a clue as to
why this is happening?

Thanks,
James
