  • Thread-topic: choose file default location in OS X 10.8

Has anyone experienced using 'choose file' under OS X 10.8 and passing a default location parameter like:

set theDefaultLocation to "Macintosh HD:Users:jim:Desktop:" as alias

set theResult to choose file with prompt ¬

"pick a file" default location theDefaultLocation


but the choose file dialog does not open to the requested default location, but some other seemingly random location that the user may have gone to at some point in some other "Open" dialog?
