I believe the original poster wanted to know if the Desktop was frontmost.
If (windows whose visible is true) = {} then it's safe to proceed. That's all I'm demonstrating. I left it up to him to infer the rest - but perhaps I'm missing something. The error handler is just generic. (I see I didn't fully read his request.)
Getting items as 'alias list' is very fast.
set desktopFolder to path to desktop tell application "Finder" try set sel to selection as alias list if sel ≠ {} then set itemParent to (parent of item 1 of sel) as alias if itemParent = desktopFolder then "Desktop is Focus" else "Window '" & (name of itemParent) & "' is Focus" end if end if on error errMsg number errNum beep display dialog "Error: " & errMsg & return & "Error Number: " & errNum end try end tell
This runs in a fraction of a second on my Desktop with all items selected, in 0.8 seconds in a window with over 100 items selected, and 3.3 seconds in a window with 370 items selected. (MacBook Pro i7 2.66GHz)
set iconPosReco to {} tell application "Finder" try set sel to (selection as alias list) repeat with i from 1 to length of sel set end of iconPosReco to {name, position, desktop position} of item i of sel end repeat on error errMsg number errNum beep display dialog "Error: " & errMsg & return & "Error Number: " & errNum end try end tell iconPosReco
