Applescript-Shell Error Question

Hey Folks,

This script throws an error if there are items that have no quarantine bit set:

tell application "Finder"
set d to target of front window as string
end tell
set d to POSIX path of d
set cmd to "cd " & quoted form of d & ";xattr -d com.apple.quarantine *"
do shell script cmd

Is there a way to stop the error from propagating from the shell to Applescript?

I thought I could just do something like: 2>/dev/null

But it doesn't stop Applescript from throwing an error.

I know of course I can just put a try-block in the script, but I'm looking for a little deeper understanding.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Chris
