I have been experiencing an issue lately with several scripts where, when the Finder is asked to pass a folder to an application, it first makes a copy of the folder and then passes the copy to the application rather than the original. Furthermore, this only happens with some folders and not with others. The owners, permissions, etc. for the folders involved, ie copied or not, are all the same and I can detect no pattern to the ones which are copied.
I first saw this behavior when using "tell application "Finder" to open someFolder using someApplication". In trying to track down the problem I found that the attached script, when saved as a script application (bundle), exhibits the same behavior when a folder is dropped on it: some folders are copied first, others are not. It is as if the folders in question had the "Stationery Pad" bit set... but, of course, folders don't have that bit. I am running OS X 10.6.8.
Has anyone else seen this and/or can explain it?
Thanks.
