My first question is how come the Finder allows “missing valules”
to be returned when for example, you are trying to get “physical
size” of an item: do we agree that even for an alias, there always
is a physical size? How can AS just return “I don’t know” and get
away with it ?
There's a size, all right, but the Finder doesn't know what it is
yet. This is a known bug. Incidentally, having just come off the
thread regarding what problems are where, AppleScript isn't returning
"I don't know", the Finder is.
My second subject is a feature request. Would it be possible to
select a whole piece of script and “comment it out” in one block,
rather than adding the comment lines to every friggin’ line ?
Block comments, as several people have mentioned by now, plus there's
a "Comment Tags" command in the Script Editor contextual menu that
will do it for you. Select a hunk of text, control-click, select
Comment Tags, and it'll put in the (* *) for you, or remove them if
they're already there.
