I don't see a better list for Scripting Bridge — referrals welcome.
I am looking for a local-folder element in the Entourage application. If there
is none, I want to create it. This works fine on my 10.6 installation, but not
on my customer's 10.5. Both machines are Intel, running the same version of
Entourage.
Here is the relevant method, in a category of SBObject. My customer swears he
has a local folder named "Archive" already. The log output is as shown in the
comments.
- (EntourageFolder *) archiveFolder: (BOOL) createIfNeeded
{
NSAssert([self isKindOfClass: [gApp classForScriptingClass: @"application"]],
@"Looking for archive from something other than Entourage itself");
EntourageApplication * app = (EntourageApplication *) self;
EntourageFolder * folder = [[app folders] objectWithName:
kArchiveFolderName];
if ([folder exists]) {
#if DEBUG_CREATE_10_5
NSLog(@"archiveFolder: folder does exist."); // Does not print
#endif
return folder;
}
#if DEBUG_CREATE_10_5
else
NSLog(@"archiveFolder: folder does not exist."); // Prints
#endif
if (! createIfNeeded)
return nil;
Class folderClass = [app classForScriptingClass:
@"folder"];
#if DEBUG_CREATE_10_5
NSLog(@"archiveFolder: creating Archive folder.");
#endif
folder = [[folderClass alloc] initWithProperties:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: kArchiveFolderName forKey:
@"name"]];
#if DEBUG_CREATE_10_5
NSLog(@"archiveFolder: initialized Archive folder (%@)", folder); //
Prints as future object
@try {
#endif
[[app folders] addObject: folder];
#if DEBUG_CREATE_10_5
}
@catch (NSException * e) {
NSLog(@"Folder addObject archiveFolder: error %...@\nreason:
%...@\nuserinfo: %@",
e.name, e.reason, e.userInfo);
/* LOGS:
Folder addObject archiveFolder: error NSGenericException

} }
Error info = {
ErrorNumber = -10014;
}

ErrorNumber = -10014;
}
*/
}
NSLog(@"archiveFolder: inserted Archive folder (%@)", folder); //

#endif
return [folder autorelease];
}
I know Scripting Bridge @throws for AppleScript errors only on 10.5. It's for
debugging only.
Error -10014 is errAENotASingleObject, indicating that addObject: (actually
crel, create element) went to more than one object. It _looks_ like the
location is something like "end of ALL folders," but I don't know why the form
is 'indx'.
That 'abso' of $206C6C61$ (' lla') is an endian-swap of the 'all ' constant. It
worries me.
Setting NSScriptingDebugLogLevel to 1 in the global, Entourage, and
my-application defaults had no effect at all on my 10.6 machine. So I can't see
whether the 10.6 core/crel is different.
I'd appreciate any help at all.
