I don’t think it is the show. If that line is commented out the script will still crash. I will dig in to the timing idea on Monday when I’m back in the office and have time with my colleague’s Mac.
I’ll also try to add some other examples of the crash. This actually originated in a hazel script. Crashing as the file was added to the Apple Note. To simplify the troubleshooting I moved to Script Editor and kept peeling away code.
In fact, the original problem script is the same as the one I referenced in this earlier thread. Works fine for me, but not for my colleague.
