When I press the record button and then do something in the finder it doesnt produce anything. Is the Finder unscriptable? or am I doing something wrong? I tried it on my brothers machine that is running 10.4 and it worked great. Any information is welcomed.
I'm not sure, but it _could_ be the Finder is not scriptable in 10.1.x ... You could maybe open the Finder - like any application - in Script Editor to see whether it's scriptable.
IIRC, the Finder wasn't recordable in OS X until Jaguar, or possibly even Panther. I don't think there's any way around it, unfortunately. Of course, manually-written scripts still work fine.
