10.3: Use 10.2's Connect to Server dialog via AppleScript
Authored by: mm2270 on Dec 10, '03 12:00:57PM

Well I for one find this very useful. I really don't care for what Apple did with the Connect dialog in Panther. Of course, with the old style dialog pulled up this way in Panther, you still need to click on "Local" if you want to connect to a local AFP server, as in my case. In Jag, this was chosen by default (the *) IIRC.

Still, I prefer the column view and having it all located in one window, rather than having to click on "Browse", which strangely just brings you to the Network Finder window to do a browse. No question for me which is more intuitive.

Well, looks like I spoke too soon about praising this. Although it looks great, I get an error when choosing a fileserver to mount, stating "Can't make some data into the expected type" I'm no AppleScript guru so I don't even know where to begin with fixing the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

It looks like a bug in the "choose URL" command. It doesn't seem to work for anything in "Local". You'll note that when you select such a file server the URL does NOT show up in the URL field in the connect window. It should show up there. Servers listed under things other than Local do seem to work.
