| Still no luck, but a different error this time. The old favorite "Can't make alias <path-to-filename> into type unicode text.
This modified script works/breaks just as the original. Open to select the file works. Drag to select the file doesn't.
I've tested with a different server and on a different machine as well.
I like Transmit, and the customers already have this bought and installed before I even called called upon for this. Groan. Maybe I'll start looking at using the command line. I wish the server in question was available via nfs or smb.
I do like the on run segment in your reply Ed. I haven't seen that before (and it's been dually noted in my scrapbook). And I'll be asking my boss to let me order ScriptDebugger first thing in the AM.

If I use "choose file" to select the file, it works with no problems.
If I use "on open", like I'll need to with the Compressor output, it fails (AppleEvent handler failed) in attempting to upload the file. There's no other change in the script except on open/end open and set to choose file.
Hey Chris,
I don’t think this is a transmit bug.
Choose file returns a file reference as an alias. The open command works with a list of file references, if you drop a singe file you get a list of one file.
So, here’s a modified version of your script that should work.
When you’ve saved this version you can double-click it to get the choose file behavior and drop files on it to get the ‘on open’ behavior.
As for replicating the apple event log in script editor at runtime, there’s no way to do that. There is a way to send specific log commands to the console, but that’s not very satisfying.
Your best bet is to purchase ScriptDebugger. With that you save your script as an applet with debugging, then when you use the applet the script opens in debugger and you get the apple event logging and, even better, all the debugging tools.
HTH,
