Issue with Track Change items

  1. neilio

    No matter how I save my applescript (with or without startup screen) I constantly get this dialogue appearing when the Track Changes items are run: 

    
                
    
                  Also, this appears consistently if I assign a rating to a
                  track using Synergy.
                
    
                
    Is there any way to stop this dialogue from appearing?
    
                
    You can view the Applescript I'm running here.

                  I believe that you should be able to control whether the
                  dialog appears or not...

                  No - it's definitely a bug with the way Synergy runs
                  applescripts as I've definitely saved my script without the
                  startup screen. I also had this issue with the scripts that
                  were included in the last release without opening or altering
                  them in any way.

                  Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce this issue. I don't
                  think it's "a bug with the way Synergy runs
                  AppleScripts"; all Synergy does is tell the Finder to
                  open them (ie. it is equivalent to double-clicking them). What
                  happens when you double-click your scripts manually?
                
    
                
    
                  I wonder what the difference is between your set-up and the
                  one of the person who filed
                  bug #424 and who was able to resolve
                  the problem by saving his AppleScript with the appropriate
                  settings...

                  I can't reproduce this issue by manually running the script,
                  even after dozens of tries. That's what makes me wonder if
                  there's something specific about how Synergy runs the scripts
                  themselves.
                
    
                
    
                  That said, it would be much better if Synergy didn't require
                  the scripts to be compiled as applications...

                  Hello all - I just had to do a system re-install, and had to
                  re-install synergy as well. In doing so, I stumbled upon the
                  track change items, and installed the auto rate following the
                  instuctions on the PDF. Made a new folder in Synergy
                  application support called Track Change Items, restarted
                  iTunes and Synergy, and.... nothing happened! I realize that
                  the PDF specifies that the script is for iTunes 4.7, and I am
                  currently running 6.0.5 - do the track change items no longer
                  work for the current version of iTunes?
                
    
                
    THank you for your help!

                  I haven't tested the track change items lately so I don't know
                  if the sample scripts have any incompatibilities with later
                  versions of iTunes. I can confirm though that the code in
                  Synergy for scanning the track change items folders hasn't
                  changed.
                
    
                
    
                  Are you sure your track change items folder is named correctly
                  (ie. correct case) and that's it has appropriate permissions
                  (ie. not world-writable)?

                  Thank you so much for the quick response! I double checked the
                  folder name: Track Change Items (with the spaces and
                  capitalization). I switched permissions for the file to read
                  only and re-started everything. Sadly, no luck. I still LOVE
                  synergy though!
                
    
                
    Thank you

                  Anything printed to the console when tracks change? (Errors,
                  warnings etc.)
                
    
                
    
                  Does the script work when you double-click it? (If it doesn't
                  work when you double-click it then it won't work when Synergy
                  tries to launch it either.)

                  It seems that the Autorate app doesn't work with iTunes
                  anymore, but it's not a problem with Synergy. We may need to
                  get these applets updated.
