On 12/15/08 at 8:49 PM, Ed Stockly <email@hidden> spake thusly:

This sounds like a job for the "giving up" parameter as found in display dialog and other UI commands.

choose file x giving up after 20 seconds

The result would indicate either a file chosen by the user, an error (cancel) or gave up, and the script could handle each of those eventualities.

I agree, that could be useful.


Thanks Ed, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
