And the result was "«class bmrk»" (the result is the same for non-bundles,
too).

So who killed the aliases, and how about a formal introduction for
(presumably) bookmarks? Any of the Chrises care to comment?

Last week, I advised Robert Poland to ...

set currentItem to (item i of droppedItems) as alias

based on getting «class bmrk» instead of 'alias' when getting the class of a dropped item.

I didn't have time, then, to look further into this.

This morning, at your suggestion, I used this ...

on open dropList

set dropItem to (item 1 of dropList)

display dialog (class of dropItem) as text

end open

and found:

In 10.6.1 --> «class bmrk»

In 10.5.8 --> alias

(And, if you drop a .webloc file, Safari opens and goes there. Illustrates the dangers of automatically resolving alias files.)

Either:

1. There is a bug here. 'dropList' should be a list of aliases; OR

2. «class bmrk» is a new feature. We would be really blown away by it ... if only we knew what it was.
