I want to display a list of applications for my user to choose from.
An open-panel shows all files, even non-applications.
Is there a way to generate a list containing just the applications of
the startup volume? I've tried variations of this with no luck:
tell application "Finder"
set theApps to (every item whose file type is "APPL")
of every folder of startup disk
end tell
Searching the entire volume is likely to be slow, so this may be
impractical, even if it worked.
