Hello

Here is a subset of a large script I'm working upon.

script o
property tempFolder : "" -- globale
end script

on run
set p2d to path to desktop
set folderName to "transfert_trefsnart"
set o's tempFolder to (path to desktop as text) & folderName & ":"
tell application "System Events"
if not (exists folder (o's tempFolder)) then
make new folder at end of p2d with properties {name:folderName}
end if
end tell
my germaine()
end run

on germaine()


POSIX path of (o's tempFolder) --> "/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/transfert_trefsnart/"


tell application "TextEdit"
try
log "Point 1"
POSIX path of (o's tempFolder)
on error errMsg number errNbr
log "error #" & errNbr & ", " & errMsg
log "Point 2"
end try
try
log "Point 3"
tell me to get (POSIX path of (o's tempFolder))
on error errMsg number errNbr
log "error #" & errNbr & ", " & errMsg
log "Point 4"
end try
end tell


tell application "System Events"
try
log "Point 5"
POSIX path of (o's tempFolder)
on error errMsg number errNbr
log "As I am in a tell application block I'm not really surprised to get :" & linefeed & "error #" & errNbr & ", " & errMsg
log "Point 6"
end try
try
log "Point 7"
tell me to get (POSIX path of (o's tempFolder))
on error errMsg number errNbr
log "But here, as I use the « tell me » tip, I'm REALLY bored to get :" & linefeed & "error #" & errNbr & ", " & errMsg
log "point 8"
end try
end tell
end germaine

#=====

I don't understand why the good old « tell me » tip doesn't allow POSIX path to behave correctly in a tell application "System Events" block

Here I get this events log :

tell current application
path to desktop
path to desktop as text
end tell
tell application "System Events"
exists folder "SSD 500:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:transfert_trefsnart:"
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
(*Point 1*)
(*Point 3*)
end tell
tell application "System Events"
(*Point 5*)
(*As I am in a tell application block I'm not really surprised to get :
error #-1728, Il est impossible d’obtenir POSIX path of "SSD 500:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:transfert_trefsnart:".*)
(*Point 6*)
(*Point 7*)
(*But here, as I use the « tell me » tip, I'm REALLY bored to get :
error #-1728, Il est impossible d’obtenir POSIX path of "SSD 500:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:transfert_trefsnart:".*)
(*point 8*)
end tell


What am’I making wrong ?
Of course, I may store the POSIX string in a variable before entering the tell application block but I wish to understand why it behabes this way ?
