to whom it might concern...
I updated the script posted some time ago... it now makes also aliases that open the originals instead of revealing them (a dialog pops up and asks you reveal/open), and you can drop as many items at once as you want on it.
still on

another extremely simple script, but useful:

(unmounts all server volumes)

>I've written a small AppleScript that makes 'path-based aliases' and reveals the original upon double-click on the 'alias'.
>This is because we have some standard directories (which we don't move) on our netatalk servers to which we'd LIKE to have aliases to but can't because netatalk always gives a new ID to directories from session to session.

>- I modified the script with ResEdit to have it work like an application with its own signature (N1ta). So if You wish to edit it, make a new script, save it as a compiled applet, then copy the 'scpt' resource of the script to your template, edit it, then copy back the scpt resource.
>- It should work on OS X (and needs the CarbonLib). But anyway, OSX doesnt really speak to netatalk yet, so...
>- It can not be run from the share (ask Apple why?)
>- nifty icon! ;-0
>- this is no solution - just a workaround!
