Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

jla320af's tip is very useful but only step one on the corrections you have to make in the MissingMediaBurner scripts. Had also the trouble with error messages like "File Volumes/ipod/blablabla.iso wasn't found.". Another bug - under Tiger - seems to be in the Main.scpt.

So open 'MissingMediaBurner.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/Main.scpt' with AppleScript Editor and look for if the name of theObject is "theBurn" then - that is what happens when you press the "Burn"-button.

There you will find the code
set thePath to POSIX path of theItem

Replace it with

set thePath to text 10 thru -1 of theItem

set thePath to POSIX path of thePath

This worked for me. Under Tiger there seems to be a problem when paths like "/Volumes/myHD/myFolder" - with the alteration it's only "myHD/myFolder" and works fine.

More Troubleshooting on not found files - mircoweb.de

Sorry, folks,

I didn't realize, that this only works, if your files to burn, are saved at a harddisk that is not the startup disk. So the discribed trick worked for me, as my files are on a harddrive called "data" but MacOS X and MMB are on another volume called "system".

There’s an odd behaviour in the Path string – to get the path of an external drive I found out to take the text starting at the 10th position (text 10 thru -1 of theItem as shown in my last post). When burning files from the users folder strangely you only get some part of the path to the file. Decreasing the number 10 to 3 returns “/sers:mircoweb:desktop:test.cue” and for text 2 thru -1 of theItem it would be “/Users/mircoweb/desktop/test.cue”. You see the slashes? Seems to be because of the (not generated) POSIX path.

So far I only have a dirty workaround – you have to put in the name of your harddrive. So donot change the lines to

set thePath to text 10 thru -1 of theItem

set thePath to POSIX path of thePath

but change it to

set thePath to text 2 thru -1 of theItem

set thePath to "**HARDDRIVENAME**/" & thePath

set thePath to POSIX path of thePath

Where **HARDDDRIVENAME** is the name of your harddrive containing the users folder (and don’t forget the following slash).
After this I got the right POSIX path to the file “System:users:mircoweb:desktop:test.cue”. Hope this will finally also work for you and maybe someone else finds a less dirty solution for this problem...
