A script I posted some time ago that will move an item in an indexed group to the Finder folder that corresponds to that group (reverse synchonization, as it were) was flawed in that it always created a fill in that folder named “DEVONtech_storage”. This version of the script now deletes that file. If you wish to retain that file, then don’t use this script, or comment out the section [A] code.
-- Script to move an internal database item to the indexed folder where it should reside
-- DO NOT USE THIS SCRIPT ON ITEMS THAT DO NOT RESIDE IN INDEXED FOLDERS
-- Warning: use this script at your own risk
-- Losing your data is one of your own risks
-- updated 20110225 -- see [A] below
tell application id "com.devon-technologies.thinkpro2"
set theDatabase to current database
set theGroup to current group
set theSelection to selection
set thePath to path of theGroup
if theGroup is indexed then
repeat with thisItem in theSelection
if thisItem is not indexed then
export record thisItem to thePath
-- uncomment the following line when you are confident in this script, and want to have the script delete the internal item for you
-- delete record thisItem
else
display alert "Warning!" message "Use this script on non-indexed items" as warning
end if
end repeat
-- [A] 20110225 Added this next step to remove the DEVONtech_storage file from the target folder
try
set deleteDTS to "rm " & "\"" & thePath & "/DEVONtech_storage" & "\""
do shell script deleteDTS
end try
synchronize record theGroup
else
display alert "Warning!" message "Do not use this script on groups that are not indexed" as warning
end if
end tell
