I’ve found that an Applescript app I use often will not compile anymore under the latest XCode and Snow Leopard. Attempting to adapt it to the new conditions has been slow and annoying. Methods that worked perfectly previously will no longer work.
set options_file to choose file with prompt "Pick the file containing the extra options:"
if (exists options_file) then
set optsFound to true
end if
gives error -1708.
I’ve looked at NSOpenPanel but this is beyond me. I tried ‘exists’ with valid aliases and got the same error. How do I fix this? Maybe I don’t have to check the validity of the file path here but it is necessary elsewhere.
