We are attempting to develop an automated backup process for our projects
and so far we have this code (built partly by recording our steps and then
by removing the intermediate tell-end tell statements):
tell application "StuffIt Deluxe"
activate
make new archive with properties {location:file "Macintosh
HD:Users:PRG04:Desktop:backups:current backups:Data Mover.sitx"}
stuff {alias "Macintosh HD:Source:Common Source:"} into
archive "Data Mover.sitx" compression level maximum
stuff {alias "Macintosh HD:Source:Data Mover v3:"} into
archive "Data Mover.sitx" compression level maximum
...
close window "
quit
end tell
Some of these projects are very, very large. The problem is that the very
first archive command, which is acting on one of those large projects,
looks like it is about to finish when Applescript displays a "timeout
while waiting for Apple event."
Is there any way around this dilemma?
