It's a known limitation. "list folder" is deprecated anyway, use 'tell application "System Events" to get the name of every item of folder Š' instead.

Indeed that's good to know, glad you point it out, thanks much Chris.

That said, and out of curiosity, how comes it seems to work here on 36-characters folder names:

list folder alias "emmanuel's hd30:Library:WSDev:spaces:9CAA9C92-E822-4496-9F28-2FD1D9DAF2E7:"
--> {".DS_Store", "profile.xml", "services", "uploads.plist", "users"}


That's a G4 with 10.4.9.

Emmanuel
