Reproduce? - Sceptimus

It always happens, whether I select 1 or multiple fonts or postscript, open type or true type fonts. Sometimes nothing happens, the font is not revealed in the Finder.

Reproduce? YES. - bosskev

Yes, I can reproduce exactly the same behavior as the original poster. In line with your request, Gritsch, I have tried, in turn:

1 TrueType font selected
1 PostScript font selected
1 OpenType font selected
1 each TrueType, PostScript and OpenType fonts selected (3 total)
4 TrueType fonts selected (4 total)

Each time I got the spinning beach ball--are you ready for this?--for EXACTLY 2 mintues, not a second more, not a second less. Five different combinations selected and yet each timed out identically the same. Could this two minute thing be a clue? Also, I have a very large library, somewhere around 9500 fonts, if that info can help.

But not to discourage others because of this odd (and fairly unimportant to me) behavior, I have to say I LOVE FontExplorer X and highly recommend it! I just won't be attempting to "reveal in Finder" for a while...

AppleScript - Gritsch_Gabriel_819

Hi,

FEX reveals the files using an AppleScript that looks like this:

tell application "Finder" to (select {file "Tiger:Library:Fonts:Zapfino.dfont"}) activate

Is it possible that you are not permitted to execute Apple-Scripts?

Thank you!

AppleScript seems to be fine - bosskev

No, I don't think lack of permission to execute AppleScripts is what is going on. While I don't consciously use AppleScript--never had a reason to--I've also done nothing to disable it. I assume a standard installation of Mac OS X includes AppleScript enabled. It is my own computer, not subject to any control from another administrator, so nobody has done anything to it.

In any case, I just went into the AppleScript folder and played around, launching Script Editor and several of the pre-installed scripts, everything seemed to launch and do whatever it was supposed to do--although, again, I must admit an ignorance of how to really use AppleScript.

MacBook Pro, OS X 10.4.10, 3GB RAM, FEX 1.2.1, FontCard 1.5

AppleScript, oops, one other thing - bosskev

Sorry, I just realized I never stated or clarified one VERY important point. The "Reveal in Finder" function WORKS, it just always takes exactly two minutes. So, yes, the AppleScript is working, just extremely slowly.

Reveal in finder - ratz

Not here, in fact when I tried it I accidentally had a whole font family selected and it opened all 6 windows to reveal the fonts VERY quickly!

FIXED in version 1.2.2! - bosskev

With the 1.2.2 update, this problem has gone away, at least for me.
