[AS] Getting some Finder windows properties under 10.4.6...

Hi all,

as a some minutes brain exercise, I wrote:

tell application "Finder"
	-- get the number of open windows
	set wCnt to count of window

	-- get the name of open windows
	set wNames to name of every window

	-- get the kind of class  for open windows
	set wClass to class of every window

	-- get the properties for open windows
	set wProp to properties of every window
end tell


and I was foolishly thinking that I will get all Finder Open Windows...

Did I told you that I had the Get Info window and the "Présentation options" window ?
[no ? sorry; now you know]


But, the things changes when I open the Finder Preferences Window (Finder Menu, Preferences MenuItem)...

In that case, I get:

get class of every window
{window, window, preferences window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window, Finder window}



Worst: get id of every window {35, 16, 37, 5, 18, 14, 4, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

I get an error for window id: 35, 16, 37, but not 5:

return name of window 5 -- returns me the name of an actually open Finder folder...

The error message is something like (I get the same message for same for Window 16 and 37):
Unable to get the name of window 35



same kind of error with some other window properties: visible, position, properties...
