OK… I’m trying to move files from an AFP volume to another AFP volume. Problem is, the move command isn’t moving the file, it’s copying it.
Here’s my script… the copying part works… the deleting part doesn’t.
on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving theAddedItems
delay 5
tell application "Finder"
move theAddedItems to folder "Macintosh HD:Users:bob:Desktop:Test"
delay 30
end tell
end adding folder items to
tell application "Finder"
delete theAddedItems of folder thisFolder
end tell
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Parameter variables in a handler are “local” to that handler and can’t be seen outside it. In this case, you’re trying to delete ‘theAddedItems’ outside the ‘adding items to’ handler. Also, the value of ‘theAddedItems’ is a list of aliases that are complete in their own right, so you don’t need (ie. mustn’t use) ‘of folder thisFolder’.

delay 30
delete theAddedItems
end tell
end adding folder items to
Incidentally, unless the delays are in there for some other reason, I don’t need 'em here - since Finder waits for the move to complete before deleting:
