Hello.

It is interesting. Actually one of my friend also tested the code, and it worked on his machine.
However it doesn't work for me.


AppleScript version is 1.10.7

Is it different?

Thank you.

by adding as alias also worked with your script:

tell application "Finder"
    set my_file_path to path to desktop folder
    -- get container of my_file_path as text
    set directory_path to (container of my_file_path) as alias
end tell


(the script michelle replied with works perfectly also)

Hello, David.

Actually finding path works for me.
However finding "containing folder" doesn't work for me.
It is what I need.
