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".

This seems to work OK.

tell application "Finder"
	set Window1Name to name of window 1
	set x to name of every window
	repeat with thiswindow in x
		display dialog thiswindow
	end repeat
end tell
