My script is about to create a sparsebundle in the location chosen by the user.
Of course, I can (and will) test defaultLocation with ...
class of (item defaultLocation) is folder
But, shouldn't 'choose folder ...' do that?
If you point the default location at the folder containing the *.sparsebundle, it won’t let the user navigate inside, but if you explicitly tell it to start inside the bundle, it will do as you ask. I view this as a feature. It’s like Finder’s “Show Package Contents” command: If you tell it to look inside a package/bundle, it will.
