Sorry folks, please disregard the message below I sent in error. Amusingly, it does pertain to Applescript though (SOAP calls).  --Stefan

OK the CAPS script is using the multi-field call as well (except for one instance where it pulls the Job Title for web screenshots). You should note a dramatic decrease in SOAP calls.  --S

Hi Bert,

Ran the test on a unix server using helios to mount the 'afp' volumes where I could not replicate the behavior you mentioned
Are you working on a windows server? This I can not test then....

--- spaces problem
set THEPATH to \"BEL_Tester2:test mod:Untitled.rtf\"
do shell script \"touch \" & quoted form of POSIX path of THEPATH

--- copy instead of rename/move
use cp instead of mv

best regards,jan



Hello Jan, thank you for your answer.
I had some complications testing with the \"touch\" script.
1) It seems to work fine with files on my local harddisk.
2) I had one situation in which I (or better: the script) was able to change the modification date of a file on a server. The strange thing was when I moved the file to another folder (manually in the Finder) the old modification date was back.
3) The script doesn't seem to work if the path to a file contains folders with spaces in the name.

My main script contains HFS paths which I convert to POSIX paths. Maybe something goes wrong there?

Additional question:
Is it also possible to DUPLICATE a file with a do shell script? From one folder to another folder I mean.

Bert.

I am also interested in example code how to change the filename with do shell script . . .




Hello,

I have a simple Finder statement to change the modification date of a file. See below. Every now and then (can't tell why) the task errors.I was wondering: How can I perform same task without talking to the Finder (do shell script bla bla....)? Can anyone help?


set D to current date
tell application \"Finder\"
                set modification date of alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:bert:Desktop:Testfolder:week_47.txt\" to D
end tell

Problem FIXED, but still a mystery.

This morning, I did some experimenting with ...

                "hdiutil create -type SPARSEBUNDLE -megabytes " & imageSize & " -fs HFS+J -layout NONE " & imagePath & ¬
                                 " -volname " & quoted form of imageName & " -attach"

I simply could not get it to create a Partition Scheme = GUID. Always Partition Scheme = none.

I checked my backup made on 5 Nov 2011 and found that the run-only script that contains this code was compiled on 6 June 2011. It was working correctly at that time and apparently continued to work correctly until 29 Oct when it began creating sparse bundles with Partition Scheme = GUID.

So, I recompiled the original script without making any changes to the code and copied the run-only .scpt file into my application. New sparse bundles now have Partition Scheme = none and I can burn them using 'drutil'.

I am now left wondering why this script spontaneously failed. Mysterious.
