tell application "Finder" to open file filePath
well, then, the property never gets stored.
I haven't been able to reproduce this in 10.2.8, Joe - but Ed Wiederer
recently reported similar behaviour in the "Capturing username for
script that mounts server" thread on this list:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2005/Mar/
msg00817.html
I wonder if anyone else can replicate the problem - and what system
version they're using...
I'm using 10.3.8. Are you running the script from the system-wide
script menu? That's frustrating that you can't repeat the problem that
the tell to Finder creates, but maybe it's a problem introduced
somewhere in 10.3? I did not see anything in the other thread to help
out. I know how to do "if myproperty is missing value..." type stuff.
The problem is that when the script has the tell to Finder, the
property is not getting saved.
