This is a droplet that has been working ever since…
However, today as I used it I did not get what I expected.
I tried and tried again and got strange results, until I checked to see if it was counting right.
It wasn’t.
As you, I dropped 8 files and with that script got 2 dialogs, one displaying 1 and another displaying 7.
I just wanted to have a corroboration.
This is a new bug in EC.
Thanks to all that tried.
