Hello, I'm a long-time Applescript user but new to this list... I
wanted to report an oddity in Snow Leopard that rendered some existing
scripts almost unusable.
In Snow Leopard, an Applescript controlling Finder experiences the
spinning beachball for several minutes when copying files to a mounted
server, although the file transfer is successful eventually. This has
always worked fine in Leopard and previous OS (since 2002), file
transfers take a second or two.
To solve this, I used a UNIX "do shell script" cp command outside the
Finder tell block (instead of "duplicate file" within the Finder tell
block); the file transfers are fast and easy again. The server is an
old XServe on our local network.
I have noted no other Finder problems when using Applescript in 10.6.
Maybe this will help someone. --Stefan
