What I'm doing is searching for files on the desktop that meet some conditions (the rest of the script).
So, what I've got to work:
do shell script "cd ~/Desktop; find ."
Let me know if there's a problem with that way.


You had this before:

do shell script "find ~/Desktop ."

This searches the Desktop and the current directory.

Your new one searches just the Desktop. It could have been written as:

do shell script "find ~/Desktop"
