Hi all,
this is a bit off topic, but I was searching an AppleScript file, so it
is a bit "related"
...
I was searching - here and then - during the past weeks for a file whose
name was long lost (forgotten). All I had in mind was something like
"set front window background image.scpt".
I have online the internal HD (80GB) and an external FireWire HD (160GB)
full (the teeths
started to be invisibles).
I decided minutes ago to start a brand new quest and I found it from a
collateral file (I watched what was in a folder from a reached file and
found MY file there, nearly by harzard).
The search method is: in the Finder, press Command-F (the good old
search facility).
What annoy me is that a .scpt search does not display the file I have in
a window below the "Search in Computer", in front of my eyes.
I can see files in the Search window that reside in the same hard disk
(where the other, not reported file is), but not my file (the one I have
in front of my eyes).
Have I some troubles (me, or my PowerBook G4 Alu) ? ... or do you get
sometimes the same malfunction ?
Cheers,
Emile
PS: I used the Command-Space shortcut (Spotlight ?) and do not get the
file too... very strange.
[I found a copy of that file in another HD, in a 40GB USB 2.5 Hard Disk,
with 18GB used]
I do not know what to do: pull my hairs from my head or eat my hat
(unfortunately, I do not wear a hat, and I need my hairs)... Go figure!
