Hi Philip,

Yes, I just noticed that _after_ I sent that post :-)

However, I think it's "bundle identifier":

set pp to POSIX path of (path to preferences)
set bid to bundle identifier of (info for (path to application "Safari"))
set sp to pp & bid & ".plist"
tell application "System Events"
set dldir to get value of property list item "DownloadsPath" of property list file sp
end tell


This works a treat, thank you so much! One more quick question tho, if the downloads folder is on the desktop, the path I get returned is:

"~/Desktop/Downloads" 

Is there anyway to expand the "~" so it becomes "/Users/Dave/Desktop/Downloads"?

I can always do the expansion myself, but it would be so much nicer to have AppleScript do it for me!

Thanks again,
All the Best
Dave
