While working on a script this afternoon, I noticed something that shouldn't happen.So, I wrote this quick test script (in 10.6.8) to discover what was happening ...
set deskAlias to (path to desktop) tell application "Finder" if exists folder "TEST" of deskAlias then (folder "TEST" of deskAlias) as alias as text tell application "System Events" to delete disk item the result end if delay 1 set newFolder to (make new folder at deskAlias with properties {name:"TEST"}) as alias delay 1 get comment of newFolder display dialog the result buttons {"OK"} default button 1 end tell
After the first run, you will have a folder "TEST" on your desktop. Get Info for this folder and enter some text in the comment field. Close Get Info.
Now run this script again, and again, and ...
Every time it runs, it displays the text you entered in the comment field. Yet the folder and presumably its comment have been deleted on each run.
The fix is to use this: set newFolder to (make new folder at deskAlias with properties {name:"TEST", comment:""}) as alias
Anyone have an explanation?
