Image Events Errors

pulled some sample applescripts from the Apple Web sites for
scripting the new Image Events Ap (SIPS) that comes with Panther.

I get uneven results, and I am trying to decide if it is my system
install, my poor understanding of Apple script, or if what I am experiencing is the expected behavoir.


On a G4 Quicksilver 733 with 10.3.6 updated from software update, if I run this applescript:

set this_file to choose file
try
    tell application "Image Events"
        launch
        -- open the image file
        set this_image to open this_file
        -- extract the property value
        copy the resolution of this_image to {xres, yres}
        -- purge the open image data
        close this_image
    end tell
    display dialog "Resolution: " & (xres as string)
on error error_message
    display dialog error_message
end try

After selecting an image, it displays the error: Can't get item 1 of {};

If I run the same script on a Blue & White with 10.3.6 update from
Software update, I get the expected result: 72.0

Other properties such as File Type and bit depth are missing as well.

I see from previous posts that others have encountered similar problems. Did anyone find a solution?
