--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 hi,


 lately I've tried to get some exerience in scripting DEVONthink using the
 ScriptingBridge. This works overall very well. Only the "create a record
 with in" command crates headaches for me. The following code-snippet
 exemplifies the problem:


 {{{
 #!/usr/local/bin/macruby

 framework  "Cocoa"
 framework  "Foundation"
 framework  "ScriptingBridge"

 devon =  SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier("com.devon-
 technologies.thinkpro2")

 theGroup = devon.createLocation '/root/scripts/myscript', :in => '/'
 theRecord
 =devon.classForScriptingClass("record").alloc.initWithProperties({'type'=>'text','plainText'=>"Hallo
 Welt!",'name' =>"helloworld"})
 puts theRecord.description


 #  Scripting Bridge does not actually create an object in the target
 application until you add the allocated and
 #  initialized object to an appropriate element array (SBElementArray),
 such as records in my example.

 #  thats's the way it should be done, but its not working

 puts devon.databases[0].records.insertObject(theRecord, :atIndex => 11)
 #  or : puts devon.databases[0].records.addObject(theRecord)

 theRecord.createRecordWithIn resultRecord
 }}}


 While working with this code snippet I've found out that:

 1. if i use: "puts theRecord" instead of "puts theRecord.description" the
 script runs out of time

 2. the attempt to instantiate a scripting object within DEVONthink creates
 this error:

 {{{

     ErrorNumber = -10000;

 }}}
