Title: Can't consistently make alias folder
Wondering if someone can help with this...
I’m making an alias to a folder of scripts at the user’s root level. Most of the time this script works, but sometimes I get an error that says “Can’t make class <<alia>> error.
The line that is erroring is inside a Finder tell block that says:
make new alias file at folder (alias "Macintosh HD:Users:jim:Library:Scripts:Applications:") to "Macintosh HD:Jim Scripts:Script Menu:Illustrator:" with properties {name:"Adobe Illustrator 10"}
Result is usually --> alias file "Adobe Illustrator 10" of folder "Applications" of folder "Scripts" of folder "Library" of folder "jim" of folder "Users" of startup disk
To fix this, I made a try block to trap the error, then created a repeat until exists loop to check to see if it is there, then make it, then check it. Once it’s there, it continues on. This seems like a lot of run-around just to make an alias folder.
Am I doing something wrong? The error seems to come and go and I’m having trouble understanding why it would sometimes error and sometimes not.
Thanks.
Jim
