Because the Finder implemented one but not the other.
Well, there you go. I wish they would. Technote 2106 talks about
applications getting 'set' and 'get' for free, at least some of their
behavior. Is it because they're also vanilla AppleScript commands that
they don't behave behave like other Finder commands? For example, you
can do this:
tell application "Finder" to tell item (choose file) to {duplicate,
delete}
... but you can't do this:
tell application "Finder" to tell item (choose file) to {duplicate, set
name to "hello"}
Is it just that they're too built in to the innards of the AppleScript
language to really get to? I'm thinking a developer couldn't easily
make that last example work. Not that it matters; therFETCnot much
practical advantage to it. Just exploring.
