Filter reference forms broken in OS X Finder?


  • Subject: Filter reference forms broken in OS X Finder?
  • From: Neil Faiman <email@hidden>

(OS X 10.2.6) This command works fine:

tell application "Finder" to get every file of alias theFolder

and so does this one:

tell application "Finder" to get the creation date of every file of alias theFolder

but this one gets "AppleScript Error: Finder got an error: Can't make some data into the expected type.":

tell application "Finder" to get every file of alias theFolder whose creation date comes after date "August 1, 2003"

Are filter reference forms one of the bits of Finder/AppleScript functionality that got lost in the transition to OS X, or is there some syntactic detail that I'm missing?

Thanks,

Neil Faiman
