I apologize, please pardon me.

set actualfolder to posix path of (f as alias) -- may be /Volumes/ Library-1/etc

this is wrong it's really: posix path of (posix file f as alias)


To get your pardon, here is an unvaluable contribution, our "dereferencepath" handler.


on dereferencepath(f)
try
return POSIX path of (POSIX file f as alias)
end try
set {x, y} to find text "^(.*/)([^/]+/?)$" in f using {"\\1", "\\2"} with regexp and string result
return dereferencepath(x) & y
end dereferencepath

I'm having a problem with (f as alias) where f is clearly a posix path.
(Emmanuel, did you get any error with (f as alias)?)
I have never had any trouble converting an alias to a posix path for use in a 'do shell script ...'.
This afternoon, I have been trying to convert a valid posix path to an alias.
This seems to be impossible.
