Paul!

So glad you mentioned this quirk. It just happened to me this past week. It was not from an AppleScript call however but from a legit NavServices call I've been using for over four years. It went away after I had done some work on X and then re-booted into 9.1. I figure that some thing in "Recent Folders" getting mixed up between X "Desktop" and OS 9 "Desktop Folder".

Let me know if you deduce anything further. It's bound to come up that users will find themselves in this situation and I'd love to have a straight-forward answer for them.


Philip

Has it always been the case in OS 8/9 that 'choose folder' doesn't let you choose the desktop? There are certainly Nav Services windows that do it - but not in AppleScript, it seems. Works fine in OS X, of course.

Currently AS 1.8.2b3.
