Hi all,
I have written a script that performs some lengthy work and at the end of it pops up a dialog with some information. Because it takes long to end, I normally leave the computer doing it unattended. The problem is that when I'm back the dialog has closed after an "apple event timed out" error . I can avoid the error by wrapping the dialog as here:
try
display dialog "Hello..."
on error
-- continue
end try
But the problem is that this way, although I don't get the error message, the dialog closes anyway and I loose that information. I could write it to a file, I know, but I would prefer to keep it in the dialog. Is there a way, then, to keep a dialog open indefinitely?
Thanks!
Miguel
