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.

Hello

I'm also using AS 1.10.7

I get perfect results with two versions:

version 1 :

set my_file_path to path to desktop
tell application "Finder"
	set directory_pathA to (container of my_file_path) as alias
	set directory_pathT to (container of my_file_path) as text
end tell

It uses Standard Additions to grab the path to the desktop.

version 2 :

tell application "Finder"
	set my_file_path to path to desktop folder
	set directory_pathA to (container of my_file_path) as alias
	set directory_pathT to (container of my_file_path) as text
end tell

It uses the Finder to  grab the path to the desktop.

Take care of the difference in the syntax !!!
