Title: Strange Finder behaviour...
The following behaviour seems strange to me:
tell application "Finder"
set Window1Name to
name of window 1
repeat
with
aWindow in
every
window
display
dialog ">"
& name of aWindow
as string
end
repeat
end
tell
The "display dialog" displays the name of a file in the
Finder window, not the name of the Finder window.
On the second time through the repeat loop it generates an error
saying "Finder got an error: Can't get name of item 2 of every
window".
The following more cumbersome code operates correctly:
tell application "Finder"
set Window1Name to
name of window 1
set
i to 1
repeat
try
name of window
i
on
error
exit
repeat
end
try
display
dialog ">"
& name of window i as
string
set
i to i + 1
end repeat
end
tell
Any explanations?
