Is there a way I can make the difference between a folder and a
package without using the 'info for' command which is too slow ?
Use the disk-folder-file suite in System Events:
tell application "System Events"
set f to folder "Applications" of disk "Jaguar"
set anApp to item "Address Book.app" of f
set aFolder to item "AppleScript" of f
class of anApp --> folder
class of aFolder --> folder
package folder of anApp --> true
package folder of aFolder --> false
end tell
(You might get a different answer for "class of" in a future release --
it's not entirely logical that packages claim to be folders, though
that's what they really are on disk.)
