Yeah, this is pretty much what I had that I have been using for many years. It stopped working when I upgraded from 10.8 to 10.11. I'll do some debugging to compare yours with mine, but setting it directly through system events (which never, ever would have occurred to me) is the way to go. And I need to loop over the selections, but that is trivial.
