Is here anyway to gey the current path name to the desktop in an Apple Script?


Something like this?

set thePath to path to desktop
set thePath to POSIX path of thePath

The first line will give you:
alias "Macinosh HD:Users:david:Desktop:"

coerce it to a string if you want.

After the second line you'll have:
"/Users/david/Desktop/"
