Why can't I coerce a list of a single item that is a file reference
to an 'alias list' ?
What you're seeing is a long-standing bug (and it's not really a
coercion). So you need to do something like:
try
set x to every folder of folder theRootFolder as alias list
on error -- only one
set x to every folder of folder theRootFolder as alias
end try
That doesn't work for me on 10.2.8.
When I do
tell app "Finder"
selection as alias list
end tell
I get a list of Finder references instead of a list of aliases, and
since there's no error, a try block is useless.
I also couldn't get the old -1700 trick to work.
Thus I must loop through the selection and coerce each item in turn.
(Unless someone has a better idea...?)
