Hello everyone. After bloodied knuckles (from knocking on wood) and many fistfuls of hair, I have discovered that doing something like <files of anAlias whose name ends with ".xxx"> in a Finder tell block is broken. It breaks randomly, which makes it very frustrating. You can have a script look in a folder of 50 files and it works, but with a few hundred it will randomly break, returning a "cannot get every file of foo of alias bar" error. Anyone else seeing this? I've tested this on three machines (one G4 and two G5s). -cg
