The result of 'choose folder' in Standard Additions is an alias (even though
you and I know that it must also be a folder since 'choose folder' doesn't
let you pick a file).

Note that (OMM, G4/10.4.4) "choose folder" lets you "select" (in the sense: show in inverse video) several folders in the list, while it will (as stated in the dictionary) return only one.


On this point "navchoose folder" available in Satimage.osax is better.


Bonjour Emmanuel Hello all of you

I can't check under Tiger but, under 10.3.9,

set liste to choose folder with multiple selections allowed

returns a list like this one:

{alias "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Documents:basket ƒ:",
alias "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Documents:AppleWorks User Data:";,
alias "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Documents:Adobe Reader:"}

even if the dictionary claims that it returns: "
	Result:   alias  -- chosen folder"

Choose file claims the same thing:
	Result:   alias  -- to the chosen file
for year and multiple selection is available in it for years!
