However, declaring a variable before as in

set pp to  POSIX file posixPath
exists pp

will always work.
The “get” inside the first command will always error.

Hey Deivy,

Well, that depends on how you do it.  :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"

  

  # Works
  set PF1 to POSIX file "/Users/chris/Desktop/Finder.snapz.009.jpg"
  exists PF1

  

  # Errors-out
  set PF2 to "/Users/chris/Desktop/Finder.snapz.009.jpg"
  set PF2 to POSIX file PP

  

end tell
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Because of this kind of mess I never use Posix Paths in the Finder.

There are occasions where I'll use Posix-Files if I've created them outside of the Finder, because those are actually of «class furl» — and the Finder likes them fine.

Best Regards,
Chris
