problem with finder sync


  • Subject: problem with finder sync

Hi,
 
I've used applescript to create an alias for an app I've just copied to disk.
I've uded first: cp -Rf my.app
and then: tell application "Finder" to make alias file to alias ...
 
This sometimes works, sometime it doesn't meanung the alias doesn't get created every time...
 
I suspect the finder doesn't "know" yet about the file being copied to the harddisk since I've used an Unix command. Is there a way to notify Finder to "update" somehow its files list?
 
Many thanks,
Alex
