Finder selection in column view


  • Subject: Finder selection in column view
  • From: Doug McNutt <email@hidden>

OS 10.2

tell application "Finder"
get selection
end tell

With a single folder (1) selected in a window in column view I get an empty list and I don't understand why. There is nothing selected in the column to the right of the selected folder but the column does show the contents of the selected folder.

Single selected files work OK.

With two or more such folders selected I get a multiple item list with all folders present. including (1) if it was part of the selection. It also works with a folder and a file selected.

With the same folder (1) selected in another finder view - icon or list - I get the expected folder in a single item list.

Is this a known bug / feature? Is there a workaround? Will it be better if I make a script application and drag items into it from column view?
