Is anyone else experiencing problems when placing a script in the script menu. This simple script should display all files in the document folder and allow you to choose one from the list. It works when run from Applescript editor but place it in the script menu and you can’t choose anything…
 
tell application "Finder"
          set ListOfFiles to name of files of folder (path to documents folder)
end tell
 
set ChosenFile to (choose from list ListOfFiles with prompt "Select a File and press Choose" OK button name "Choose")

This works.

(path to documents folder)
tell application "Finder" to set ListOfFiles to name of files of the result
set ChosenFile to (choose from list ListOfFiles with prompt "Select a File and press Choose" OK button name "Choose")

The problem seems to be putting 'path to ...' inside the tell Finder block.
The new question is: Why does this make a difference?
