or a correct way to have finder update the contents of it's folders?

Take a look at the Finder's "update" command Wayne.

The 'update' command may indeed be useful, but my experience is that if not used correctly, it will do nothing. If you have an alias to some item, named 'someAlias', then ...


	tell application "Finder" to update someAlias

won't work, because the 'update' command needs a reference, not an alias. You have to describe the item you want to update with a reference. You have to write something like this ...

	tell application "Finder" to update item itemName of itemCont

where 'itemName' is text and 'itemCont' is an alias to a container. You might try this ...

	tell application "Finder" to update folder folderAlias

(Notice that 'folder folderAlias' is a reference, but 'folderAlias' is not.)
