Fetch seems to see local files that aren't there (2 posts)

  Into a local TempFiles folder I put one file. Both Fetch and Finder can see that file and return true to an 'exists' test.

  However, it seems that Fetch <i>also returns true</i> to an 'exists' test for a file that is <i>not</i> in that folder.

  Could this be a bug? Perhaps 'exists' testing for a local file is out of Fetch's scope?

  From the Event Log:

  tell application "Finder"
  exists file "MBProHD:Users:gil:Gil's Stuff:Projects:MCCV:Calendar:AppleScripts:TempFiles:GilTEST.htm"
  --> true
  exists file "MBProHD:Users:gil:Gil's Stuff:Projects:MCCV:Calendar:AppleScripts:TempFiles:GilTEST1.htm"
  --> false
  end tell

  tell application "Fetch"
  exists file "MBProHD:Users:gil:Gil's Stuff:Projects:MCCV:Calendar:AppleScripts:TempFiles:GilTEST.htm"
  --> true
  exists file "MBProHD:Users:gil:Gil's Stuff:Projects:MCCV:Calendar:AppleScripts:TempFiles:GilTEST1.htm"
  --> true
  end tell

  I'd agree that testing for the existence of local files is out of Fetch's scope, and I'd recommend using the Finder for that.

  Thanks,
