App Q&A testing by request.
Yesturday I did the Security Update 2015-005, and now my stock finder scripts...like "add to file name" "replace text in file name" aren't working.

They run..they just don't do what they're supposed to.

I want to reiterate that they were working fine the other day with the same OS level, because I know some have broken as OS's progressed, but I found fixes for them.

Have other folks seen this problem? Google shows me several threads regarding them and Yosemite, but I'm in Mavericks.

EDIT: I'm now seeing they..at least the "add to file name" DID Work..but not on the open window like it's supposed to, but on my desktop folder.......
EDIT 2: BOTH scripts effected the desktop, and not the designated folder...

EDIT 3: I quit/restarted finder in Activity Monitor and it seems to have fixed the problem. Would love to know the cause though..
