And with two or more items in the folder, I get this error:

But with the alias list, doesn't it work to open photolist as a list, not in
a repeat loop? It works perfectly in 4.0.9, including two jpeg files whose
icons are appearing as QuickTime icons.
tell application "Finder"
set photolist to every item of alias "OS 9 HD:Desktop Folder:Incoming
Images:" as alias list
end tell
tell application "GraphicConverter"
open photolist
end tell
