| In Snow Leopard, I've been experimenting with this script ...
on open dropList if (count items of dropList) > 1 then return set dropAlias to (item 1 of dropList) as alias tell application "Finder" if (class of item dropAlias) is not folder then return (name of dropAlias) & return & "[" & (get name extension of dropAlias) & "]" display dialog the result end tell end open
The folder named "Automator.framework" has an extension of "framework", but the folder named "Agnes.SpeechVoice" has no extension. A folder given the name "untitled.pkg" isn't a folder (expected) and a folder given the name "untitled.xyz" has no extension.
This prompts the question: "Exactly what is a 'name extension'?"
