Re: 2nd try: Choose folder dialog and then process contents?

It actually doesn't show up unless you put something in the "process_item(this_item)" subroutine

Such as:
on process_item(this_item)
	-- NOTE that the variable this_item is a file reference in alias format
	-- FILE PROCESSING STATEMENTS GOES HERE

	-- Make these files all green
	tell application "Finder"
		activate
		set label index of this_item to 6
	end tell

end process_item

A quick look at the event log shows that it is the "System Events" application that is actually trying to process the command and not the Finder (even though the finder is in the "tell" statement at that point)... Any ideas?

thanks

Aaron

That works just fine for me. So does this:

set this_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Pick the folder containing the files to process:")
tell application "System Events"
set these_items to every file of this_folder
end tell
