(1) As always, I recall that info for is deprecated.
That's why I switched to "file information"
I guessed that but you replaced a deprecated function by one which doesn't exist.
Standard Additions dictionary is clear : info for v : Return information for a file or folder info for file : an alias or file reference to the file or folder [size boolean] : Return the size of the file or folder? (default is true) → file information : a record containing the information for the specified file or folderThis command is deprecated; use ‘tell application "System Events" to get the properties of …’. file information n : Reply record for the ‘info for’ command file information is not a function which we may trigger, it's just the designation of the record returned by info for.
(2) I don't understand why you use a loop to work only upon the second item of the list of names returned by list folder
The "2" was for testing, "i" would normally be used.
OK, now it's clear
(3) Why are you asking list folder to return the name of invisible items as you are skipping this invisible item later ?
(4) To get the pathname of an item we must use path of, not path to which is dedicated by Standard Additions to a well defined list of items.
Recommended change from list.
I don't understand what you wrote.
(5) I don't know which tool is targetted by "file information".
I discovered this error and include it in "Finder"
Thanks for reminding me to move it to "System Events".
As I wrote above, "file information" is not a function, it's the designation of the record returned by info for. I made the same error several times. The late one was with a feature of TextWrangler ;-(
It's not the Finder , Standard Additions or System Events.
(6) I After correction, path of the_item fails because the_item is a name, noth a reference to a file/folder.
Makes sense.
Here is you script after required changes :
Here's the script after my changes :
tell application "Finder"
activate
set winTarget to target of front window as text
end tell
tell application "System Events"
set the_items to path of disk items of folder winTarget -- by default, System Events see invisibles
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the the_items
set the_item to item i of the_items
name of disk item the_item
display dialog "" & "the_item = " & the_item & return & return & "this_info = " & result
end repeat
end tell
As you have no real use for the index i, it may be enhanced:
tell application "Finder" activate set winTarget to target of front window as text end tell
tell application "System Events" set the_items to path of disk items of folder winTarget -- by default, System Events see invisibles repeat with the_item in the the_items name of disk item the_item display dialog "" & "the_item = " & the_item & return & return & "this_info = " & result end repeat end tell
As you saw, I took an habit (I don't know if it’s a good one) : when it's possible, un don't use custom variable names but use the property 'result' :
When a statement is executed, AppleScript stores the resulting value, if any, in the predefined property
result. The value remains there until another statement is executed that generates a value. Until a statement
that yields a result is executed, the value of result is undefined. You can examine the result in Script Editor
by looking in the Result pane of the script window.
