Standard behavior is to begin processing files with a limit of about 5 min. Alternate behavior is to allow file processing for about an hour, if the user has the files and the time.

Why don't you simply show an additional button for the alternat behaviour?


display dialog "Some text" buttons {"Cancel", "1hour","5min"}

There's a three button limit. And I've already used all three. I would also like to keep this feature somewhat hidden, except to those who really need it and who read the instructions. It's not nice to surprise a user by taking away a necessity (Mail) for an hour or more.


I've solved the problem (I hope) by asking the user to first open a particular folder, which causes a second dialog (after the first) asking "Are you sure ...", then closes the particular folder until next time.
