Get Google directions via Address Book
Authored by: akakie@acsalaska on Feb 17, '05 03:50:42PM

I installed the two scripts into ~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins and Address Book promptly stopped working. I removed the scripts to the desktop; same result. Moved them to the trash; ditto. I didn't empty the trash. I did log off and back on but not restart. "Stoppped working" means I get the spinning colors ball and have to force quit Address Book. Since I have to travel tomorrow, I kind of need the address book on this laptop (PB G4, OS 10.3.8).

HELP!

Amendment: Address Book is back. I emptied the trash and restarted. Restart failed! (little clock like thingine goes round forever). I force the PB off and did a full startup (heart in mouth -- very crowded). The original "Google map of" script worked find.

If anyone has a suggestion about this scary incident, I would love to hear. Maybe I'll play with it AFTER my trip.

Thanks.

Arrgh!

Be self reliant. Be persistent. Fix it your(my)self.

Deep in the URL code were a pair of single character symbols for "not equal" that didn't translate through tall the copy/paste stuff from web to editor.

Replacing them with "is not equal to" fixed the script.

<sigh>
