If I chained it, it just wouldn't save. Again: can't reproduce the error. I guess my path wasn't perfectly converted until today or something like that. (Or could it depend on TerminologyServer running? Will check that tomorrow.) Sorry for the noise. >> << 2 >> >> Why is Finder.copy not (yet) implemented?

Ok, perhaps you could answer generally, why some items are "NOT AVAILABLE (YET)". Or did I overlook that somewhere? I think the worst problem with appscript is the "strange behaviour" id you're used to either linear or object oriented or really asynchronous code - appscript looks like linear & object oriented, but is "a bit" asynchronous (but not like twisted's Deferreds) and instead of "real" objects you get those dynamic references. Additionally every application behaves differently and you've to find out what works how (or not) - or how they call something internally what you know with some (translated) name from GUI and manual... Of course that's not your fault, and it's great that we can use appscript at all! I tend to blame the docs while I'm struggling to wrap my mind around some strange library (needed a while for twisted or wxPython, too). But some more docs seldom hurt. - I guess my path stuff is really a FAQ, but found nowhere a working example. I'll provide some examples as soon as I manage to get them running. (Just trying to write a wrapper class for InDesign documents, although limited to those functions that I need.) Greetlings from Lake Constance!
