Am I correct that the Finder's 'update' command doesn't work in
Leopard
(10.5.3)? When I run it against an application that I just installed
(using
an installer package I'm developing), the version displayed in an open
Finder window remains unchanged, and Get Info shows the old version
and
copyright information. Worse, Finder commands like 'get version'
continue to
return the old information.
Closing and reopening the window doesn't help. I have to log out and
back in
for the newly installed app to be recognized as the new version by the
Finder.
Running the newly installed app works perfectly well, but the Finder
still
remains ignorant.
I use this handler to get info for a 'display alert' in many
applications:
on titleAndVersion()
set selfRef to (path to me)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."}
tell application "System Events"
(text item 1 of ((get name of selfRef) as text)) & space & (get
version of selfRef)
end tell
return the result
end titleAndVersion
Originally, this handler used 'tell application "Finder" ...', but the
version information was often missing, so I rewrote it with 'tell
application "System Events" ...'. Now it works properly most of the
time. Something seems not to be working reliably.
