  • Thread-topic: delay doesn't work when applet is not frontmost

Has anyone else noticed this in Yosemite (or elsewhere)

If I save this script as an applet, the delay 20 command seems to be
ignored as soon as the script is no longer frontmost.

If you remove the finder activate command, the delay works, but if you
bring another app to the front, it stops delaying and goes on with the
script.

Can anyone repeat see this? Is it new?

ES

repeat with x from 1 to 20
 tell me to activate
 display dialog x giving up after 3
 tell application "Finder" to activate
 delay 20
end repeat
