I didn't think we've been warned that Finder scripting is going away, but
that System Events scripting was more reliable.
I was hoping that was because they Chris(x) knew Finder would be rewritten
for Snow Leopard and apple was investing fewer resources.
But that's very different from Finder scripting going away. But I guess NOW
we have been warned.
I find it a mixed bag, some things system events does better, some the
finder, a few things are best done via the shell.
> Of course there are still some things that the Finder can do and system Events
can't, so sometimes it's not a matter of choice.
And many of the things the finder does it does pretty well. Would be a
shame to lose that scriptability. It would be another barrier to new users
adopting the technology.
