File migration shouldn't depend on this setting as such, but it may depend on having relative paths in your Local-Urls. However as long as the file has been saved it should work also for those. However the autofiling may have problems in that case, I haven't tested that.

They do still work though, but they now refer to the first linked file (or URL), rather than the Local-Url (or Url) field. For your future scripts you should use the "linked file" and "linked URL" elements. See the sample script for some info on how to use those. > 3)When a file is selected in the file pane, if pressing space opened > Quick Look, this would make it nicely consistent with the Finder. > > -AHM And perhaps Return opens the file?
