OS 9.2.2 AS 1.8.2b3
Is this an old bug, or a new one?
tell application "Finder" to get (first folder of desktop whose name is
"Downloads"
--> {folder "Downloads" of application "Finder"}
i.e. a list, as if I had asked for 'every' rather than 'first'.
It is correct in OS 10.1.3 AS 1.8.2b3 - a folder, not a list. If there are
going to be no more revisions of OS 9, maybe this is one thing that should
be fixed first?
Another, maybe too problematic to fix, is the bug I just discovered with id
in response to the last message I answered here. The OS 9.2.2 Finder can't
find objects by id when they've been moved (or moved from the desktop,
perhaps: I have not tested exhaustively).
Getting the id of that same folder "Downloads" on the desktop, and then
asking for 'first folder of desktop whose id is 31585' gets me the folder
(as list, of course). But when I move it into another folder on the desktop,
the Finder gets an error - no such folder. When I select the folder in its
new location and ask for the id of item 1 of the selection, it gets the
right id. It just can't find it!
I notice that the OS 10.1.3 Finder has no id property of item.
