Snow Leopard: What happened to the Finder Scripts??

only apple would know why. when I realized they were gone I copied them from my leopard system. if you don't have any leopard installs left you can get them off the leopard install dvd using Pacifist

I have no idea, indicated that the installer was removing the Address Book Scripts, Basics, Finder Scripts, Internet Services, Navigation Scripts, and URLs script folders from /Library/Scripts/, when installing, to the engineers when beta-testing SL, and it appeared to be fixed in the later builds. However, I don't have a new machine that shipped with SL, so I wasn't aware that those were missing from that folder. If you have access to Leopard, copy them over. They work w/o any issues, AFAICT.

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection ( ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

these are all very simple scripts with source code included. you can examine them in full detail. there is nothing wrong with them programmatically and they work just as well in snow leopard as in leopard.
