I have a folder action script that is behaving strangely. If I drop more than 3 files into the receiving folder, the script sometimes just quits (without an error) before finishing.
on adding folder items to theFolder after receiving theseItems try set chosenFolder to choose folder with prompt "Move File To?" repeat with thisItem in theseItems -- I perform lot of functions here (left out for simplicity) on the files that take a few seconds to complete each time, including moving each file to the chosenFolder end repeat on error theError display dialog theError end try display dialog "Files tranferred successfully." end adding folder items
It seems that if the whole process takes more than a certain number of seconds to complete, the whole script just quits without displaying the last dialog, or the error dialog. Is there some kind of timeout built into the adding folder items folder action that could be causing it to quit prematurely? Any other ideas? |
