hi list,


I've got a problem using code under leopard and tiger.

I don't know exactly what's the problem, so let me ask you.


The following code works with leopard ( 10.5.x )


    tell application "Finder"
        set selectionList to the selection as alias list
        repeat with itemAlias in selectionList
            if (class of item itemAlias) is folder then
                set itemisfolder to "1"
            else
                set itemisfile to "1"
            end if
        end repeat



but with tiger ( 10.4.11 ) I've got the following error:

AppleScript Error:
alias "Tiger:Users:tobias:Desktop:3050_0011.pdf" cannot be converted to type <<class alst>>


If I remember well, the coercion to alias list fails in old systems if the selection contains a single element.

try
 set selectionList to the selection as alias list
on error
 set selectionList to {the selection as alias}
end try

This piece of code will do the trick.
