| I have a script that was working in OS 9. It reads a file name, creates a folder, renames the file and moves it to the folder. It is used to sort files into categories. It does not run in OS X. I have it working reading the files creating the folders and moving the files but my renaming code will not work. I get an error "Finder got an error: Can’t set name of selection to "SGMach1.pdf"." Does anyone have an idea? I have searched the archives and can't fine this error. Here is the code.
make new folder at folder outFold with properties {name:classnam} select item i of pdffiles ignoring case if ext is "pdf" then set name of selection to advname & i & "." & ext move selection to folder classnam of folder outFold else delete selection end if
