Hi,
I’m trying to use the Finder’s new “Create archive” command with the new GUI scripting support through “System Events.” In this case, I’m typing:
tell application "Finder"
select folder "Hard Drive:Backups"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
tell menu "ContextMenu"
click menu item "Create Archive of "Backups""
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
Every time, I get the same error message in Script Editor:
System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4
What does this mean? This happens if I use the command in the File menu, too. I realize this could be done with a gzip shell script or something, but the Finder’s archiving is so convenient… at least, it could be.
Thanks for any help you can give!
Jeff
