Thanks, Chris. This looks very useful.

For those that are blind like me, you can toggle the return of either:

only the last item added,
OR a list of items sorted by date added,

by enabling the proper "return" statement at the end of the handler.

# Extract just the paths and convert to an AppleScript list

  return (theSortedNSArray's valueForKey:(current application's NSURLPathKey)) as list



  # Or if you only want the most-recent, use this instead of the previous line:

  # return (theSortedNSArray's lastObject()'s valueForKey:(current application's NSURLPathKey)) as text

Get the path of the single most recently added item OR get a list of paths sorted by most recently added.

I've updated this with a boolean to allow folders to be included or excluded.

* Note the list of sort-keys at the end – you can play with them all you want.
