An AppleScript for real time backups with Path Finder
Authored by: e:leaf on Apr 12, '06 03:26:07AM

Why dont you implement the suggestion for replacing Finder with Path Finder found in Cocoatech's Support Forum's "Tips and Tricks" section called Sticky: Please, once and for all, how to replace Finder !

I have read that this works almost all of the time, and that there have been some problems with completely replacing the Finder. Some programs rely specifically on the Finder to do what they do. (I.e., There are some Applescript commands which are meant for the Finder and will not work with Path Finder if it has completely replaced the Finder)

I rarely have the Finder open under my current configuration. I have PF activate upon booting and automatically shut down the Finder upon launching. It generally only opens when I manually open it (to test some Applescripts mostly) or when an application which needs the Finder opens it (which is almost never).

Thanks for the tip!
