Hi Yvan, thank you for your help. Unfortunately on my machine adding the word "file" after "exists" doesn't make any difference (my system version is 10.8.5).

Your other method with System Events works fine.

Bert.

I guess that you made a typo.

Here,

set path_to_desktop to path to desktop folder

set my_img to path_to_desktop & "a213e52fbc66e4068bbc3796b0a302259d42c70da60c58e0ca2d654c63ac95d7.jpeg" as string

tell application "Finder"

set file_found to exists file my_img

end tell

set my_img to path_to_desktop & "2028.jpg" as string

tell application "Finder"

set file_found to exists file my_img

end tell

Behaves flawlessly.

Events log :

tell current application

path to desktop

--> alias "SSD 500:Users:••••••••••:Desktop:"

end tell

tell application "Finder"

exists file "SSD 500:Users:••••••••••:Desktop:a213e52fbc66e4068bbc3796b0a302259d42c70da60c58e0ca2d654c63ac95d7.jpeg"

--> true

exists file "SSD 500:Users:••••••••••:Desktop:2028.jpg"

--> false

end tell

Résultat :

false
