F�ilte Fellow Scipters:

Please be advised that I am using Script Debugger to write these separate scripts referred to below.

I am attempting to make an Applescript with InDesign Applescript in it. The folder action works so long as I do not call the InDesign code, but once I add InDesign code, the whole Folder Action system seems to break down and I have to reboot before I can get it back. This is what my code looks like in the folder action script:

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items

if added_items = {}
      return
   end if

repeat with MyFile in added_items
      ConvertMain() --This is the script that does the InDesign work
    end repeat

end adding folder items to

If I comment out ConvertMain, and liberally sprinkle "display dialog" messages in the folder action script, it works as expected. The minute, however, I put the InDesign scripting code back in, it stops working.

I went so far as to put the following two lines as the first two lines in the ConvertMain() code:

display dialog "In ConvertMain"
return

I never saw the dialog.

Does anyone have any wisdom in using folder actions and InDesign.
