All,

My current battle is to get the "kind" :
tell application "System Events"
...
set this_info to name of disk item the_item
set theKind to kind of disk item the_item
…

Gets the "name" but "kind" errors with folders.


Perfectly logical.

There is no kind property for folders

What are you trying to achieve ?
Maybe this piece of code may help.

(path to desktop as text) & "Default.lproj:"

tell application "System Events"
try
kind of (get properties of disk item result)
(* {
name extension:"lproj", 
volume:"Macintosh HD", 
creation date:date "samedi 17 mars 2012 10:27:52", 
class:folder, 
modification date:date "samedi 17 mars 2012 10:27:52", 
physical size:missing value, 
URL:"file://localhost/Users/…", 
path:"Macintosh HD:Users:…", 
displayed name:"Default.lproj", 
POSIX path:"/Users/…", 
visible:true, 
id:"Default.lproj,-100,88830", 
size:missing value, 
busy status:false, 
container:folder "Macintosh HD:Users:…" of application "System Events", 
package folder:false, 
name:"Default.lproj"}
*)
on error
"folder"
end try
set theKind to result
log theKind
(*folder*)
end tell

(path to desktop as text) & "GlobalCSCA110111.pdf"

tell application "System Events"
try
kind of (get properties of disk item result)
