I recall that if the folder window was already open then reveal would have no
effect, and would not update to show a newly created or changed item, but, if
the window was closed, reveal would open the window and work pretty flawlessly.
I also use finder's "update" command which you can send directly to the folder
with the item.
So:
Tell application "Finder"
Close window 1
Update myDirectory
Reveal myChangedFile
end
I also have an ASOBjC command from Shane that does something similar and I use
with the Finder update command. It may make reveal work better too.
use framework "AppKit"
use script "FileManagerLib" version "2.0"
use scripting additions
on UpdateDirectory(directoryToUpdate)
local directoryToUpdate, directoryToUpdatePosix
try
set directoryToUpdatePosix to POSIX path of directoryToUpdate
current application's NSWorkspace's sharedWorkspace()'s
noteFileSystemChanged:directoryToUpdatePosix
tell application "Finder"
update (directoryToUpdate as alias) ¬
necessity false ¬
without registering applications
end tell
on error errMsg number errNum
errMsg
end try
end UpdateDirectory

Hey Jean-Christophe,
I don't remember seeing reveal fail – except in rare cases where I'd just
created a file using a shell script.
Usually adding a pause corrected that problem.
