I'm wanting to count the number of items within folder f, but count just sees the alias, and returns a value of 1.
How do I coerce the alias so that count can look at the actual folder and figure out how much is inside?


I think you need to count whatever 'f' contains, not 'f' itself:

tell application "Finder"
set folder_contents to every item of f
count f
end tell
