This has been annoying me for at least the last half hour.
I am running Mac OS 10.1.1 and it would appear that the "list folder"
command in Standard Additions is/has been partially broken. In the
example below, invisible files are not supposed to be included in
variable "a". This is something I **thought** I had working correctly
under previous versions of OS X.
set a to choose folder
set a to list folder a without invisibles
{a}
The Result Log:
tell current application
choose folder
--> alias "Mac OS X:"
list folder alias "Mac OS X:" without invisibles
--> {".vol", "Applications", "automount", "cores", "Desktop
Folder", "dev", "Developer", "etc", "gmon.out", "Library", "mach",
"mach.sym", "mach_kernel", "System", "tmp", "Users", "var"}
end tell
The following should have been filtered out:
vol, automount, cores, Desktop Folder, dev, etc, gmon.out, mach.sym,
mach_kernal, tmp, var
What do others know?
Tell me I'm not going crazy...

How often do you say to yourself, "I didn't do it; so of course, it
didn't get done?"
