When run from Smile with nothing selected in the Finder the above
yields a beep.
Am I missing something?
Yes; the selection is never "", so the statement is always true.
I don't know why you have 'or selection is not "' there in the first
place; a finder selection is always a property (but looks like a
list). It is never a string.
If you replace "or" with "and" it will not beep if nothing is
selected, and will be if anything is selected because 'or selection
is not "' is always true.
