Hi,
I’m trying to script a Folder Actions Script and I stepped on two things that, as I see it, do not work properly.
The first one is something like:
move folder theFolder to folder exportFolder
if “exportFolder” is a local folder, everything’s working great, but if it’s on a remote computer, the folder “theFolder” isn’t moved but copied. Ok, it’s not so hard to make it what I want (just have to delete the folder after copying it if it exist) but when doing it manually, it move the folder, not copying it. Is it a normal behavior?
In second place, much more irritating, is the
try
do something...
on error errText number errNum
display dialog errText & return & errNum
quit me
end try
The thing is that sometime, if something doesn’t work, I want to quit the script. Since I don’t want to let anything do something that it isn’t supposed to, I have a couple of those. But the things is, when the script quit, the Folder Actions are disable and I have to enable it almost each time there is an error.
I don’t know, maybe it’s me or the ‘quit me’ but something disable the Folder Actions each time I’ve got an error with my script.
Thanks,
the “error number -128” helped a lot, but about the folder moving (even if it isn’t about the Folder Actions), I always use the ‘apple key’ (I don’t know if it’s called that, but the key just beside the spacebar) when I want to move something (drag & drop) so no ‘+’ is showing. And when doing so with a remote share, it move, not copy.
How can I have the same fonctionnality with Applescript when moving folder to a remote share?
