Here is another approach:

tell application "Finder" to set winTarget to target of front window as alias
tell application "System Events" to set the_items to name of every item of winTarget
repeat with anItem in the_items
    display dialog "the_item = " & anItem buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button "OK"
end repeat

(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.

This was from James Yost <email@hidden>

And rewrite this bit to process aliases:

set this_info to name of item (file information of file (path to the_item))
set this_info to this_info as string


It's exactly the main culprit :



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:

I may have to unremember 47 years of computing habits for this one.

I'm quite 69 years old and was able to do that so I assume that you will be able to do the same ;-)
