Title: Re: How to pick user selected files only from one folder?
You need to check it in your repeat loop. You can’t ask for selection of a specific folder.
You should also check to see if the item is a file. It could be a folder. You need to do this inside the repeat loop too.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set sourceItems to the selection
repeat with thisItem in sourceItems
if (get container of thisItem as Unicode text) is " Macintosh HD:xxx:" then
-- process
end if
end repeat
end tell
--

I should pick user selected files and process them. The command "set sourceItems to the selection" works fine, but it selects all files also from other folders, too. I should restrict the selection only to user selected files in a spesific folder. The sentence "set sourceItems to the selection of folder "Macintosh HD:xxx" compiles but is giving error. Is there some way to solve this? I have tried already "tell folder .... end tell", but it doesn´t work either.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set sourceItems to the selection
-- set sourceItems to the selection of folder "Macintosh HD:xxx"
display dialog sourceItems as text
repeat with thisItem in sourceItems
-- my process code
end repeat
end tell
