I am trying to time-bomb a script that conditionally runs another script if files exist in a certain directory.

The first script fails with a time-out error after successfully running the second script.
Here is the code:


The Script:

set sourceFolder to "HD1:To_Be_Sent:"
tell application "Finder"
set theList to (every item of folder sourceFolder whose kind is not "folder")

if (count of the theList) > 0 then
set Mail_It to "OSX:Users:jimbrandt:Library:Scripts:OS X Scripts:Mail It.scpt"
with timeout of 300 seconds
run script (alias (Mail_It))
end timeout
end if
end tell

Try taking the run script statement out of the Finder tell block, Jim:

----------------

tell application "Finder" to set items_ready to (count (items of folder "HD1:To_Be_Sent:" whose kind is not "folder")) > 0
if items_ready then run script alias "OSX:Users:jimbrandt:Library:Scripts:OS X Scripts:Mail It.scpt"


----------------
