About a year ago, I complained about a -10010 error, but we couldn't
find a cause. (We were discussing Unicode.) I think I've found the
problem.
If 'folder1' is an alias to a folder, you can tell the Finder to open
its window with
open folder1
but I've been in the habit of using
open window of folder1
for a very long time, probably due to some forgotten problem with the
former.
I have a script with a line something like this
open {window of folder1, window of folder2, ...}
and I just happened to be paying attention yesterday when I got an
error and noticed why. If any of the windows are already open, this
will throw the error -10010 "Finder got an error: Handler can't
handle objects of this class."
So now I use
open {folder1, folder2, ...}
and I no longer get the error. The Finder's dictionary isn't very
instructive. Perhaps someone knows more.
