Title: Finder or mounted volume lag in Leopard?
I have a script that has worked reliably in Tiger. However, I'm getting errors with the same script in Leopard. This script attempts to rename a file on an afp mounted volume. It seems there's some type of lag in the Finder doing it's thing so that when the second set n variable executes, the Finder still thinks the file is named the old name. Adding a 1 second delay seems to help, but it slows down the script.
Here's the code:
tell application "Finder"
set name of thisFile to desiredName
set n to name of thisFile
end tell
Below is the Apple Event Log for the above script:
tell application "Finder"
set name of alias "Output Files:N021521A_P.ai426T001.pdf" to "021521A_P.pdf"
--> "021521A_P.pdf"
get name of alias "Output Files:N021521A_P.ai426T001.pdf"
end tell
display dialog "Finder got an error: Can’t get alias \"Output Files:N021521A_P.ai426T001.pdf\".
Error number: -1728" buttons {
"Cancel"
} default button 1 with icon stop
-- stopped
Has anyone seen similar results and have any suggestions?
Thanks.
