Hey Peter, thanks for the detailed explanation. This does appear to be the case. Running my demo macro below a dozen or so times, it appears that anytime the set variable action takes longer than .5 seconds, it returns “1” instead of the actual number of Finder items. Not a big deal, as I don’t imagine there are a lot of users that execute macros on such a large number of Finder items, but I have a couple of macros that do, (for instance: my macro to tag files that are used in KM macros, so the ability to adjust the timeout would be nice.
As always, thanks for your great support!
