Like Robert's script, this counts the visible items in a Finder window,
but does so without selecting anything. Tested in both 10.4.11 and
10.6.7 with all permutations of toolbar and sidebar visibiltiy:
-- Assuming the Finder's front window is a Finder window in list view.
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Finder"
tell window 1
-- Splitter group test for when the toolbar hidden in OS 10.4.11.
if (splitter group 1 exists) then
count rows of outline 1 of scroll area -1 of splitter group 1
else
count rows of outline 1 of scroll area -1
end if
end tell
end tell
end tell
