Apple did make a significant update to Applescript with Mac OS 10.5. That *might* have something to do with it. My production group at The Day Job can't run any of the scripts I've written over the years on our new Intels. A lot of the scripts can be run but then just hang. I have yet to see what happens with any of the RB-related stuff. Finding the cause of all this is on the docket for next week, and if I find anything related to RB or that could help, I'll post.

Cheers

Hello

I have a REALbasic file synchronizer. When a file needs to be updated, it uses AppleScript to check available disk space before it copies the updated file.

This synchronizer runs flawless on PowerPC, but chokes on Intel Macs. When I debugged on Intel, I discovered that the AppleScript on Intel shows a negative number. Does anyone know whether RB is changing the result, or if this is an AppleScript issue?

I checked this problem was present in RB 2007R5 also. Is there a bug report to sign on.? For my file synchronizer, this is a show stopper, unless I pull the code and stop checking for available disk space before copying files.

Thanks for listening, and any info or knowledge. I'm not on an Intel Mac often enough to fix this, but thought it important to get the word out if anyone has a project that uses AppleScript to get available disk space.

Yours truly
