Hello again, Yvan.
I’m still on 10.10.5 here, but could you try this one:
tell application "System Events"
-- Let's be sure to have a SE item.
set F to file "Sans titre.pages" of desktop folder
-- Let's ask SE to get that item's POSIX path (works fine, here)
set P to POSIX path of F
-- Let's ask SE to get the POSIX path of the resulting string.
— Fails as expected here.
— Note the «class posx» in the error message.
POSIX path of P
end tell
This would allow us to see whether 10.11.2 came with some changes.
Going further with your experiments:
tell application "System Events"
-- Let's be sure to have a SE item.
set F to file "Sans titre.pages" of desktop folder
-- Let's ask SE to get that item's POSIX path (works fine, here)
set P to POSIX path of F
tell me
-- Let's ask "me" to get the POSIX path of the resulting string.
-- Fails too (as expected); note the «class posx» in the error message.
POSIX path of P
end tell
end tell
In fact, even if "telling me", one is still making use of SE’s terminology.
This is to be contrasted with:
tell application "System Events"
-- Let's be sure to have a SE item.
set F to file "Sans titre.pages" of desktop folder
-- Let's ask SE to get that item's POSIX path (works fine, here)
set P to POSIX path of F
end tell
-- Works: one is making use of SA's lenient POSIX path.
POSIX path of P
HTH,
Axel
