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

Hello Yvan,

At the basis, you are interested into something like this:

set tempFolder to (path to documents folder) as text
tell application "System Events"
POSIX path of tempFolder
end tell

…
HTH,

Hi Axel,

I'm an ass.

set tempFolder to path to desktop folder as text

tell application "System Events"
POSIX path of disk item tempFolder
end tell

behave flawlessly.
I understand that after entering System Events dictionary.
To be honest, I doesn't like to enter it because Apple engineers had the annoying idea to localize the name of the app and most of the time, I starts searching for "System Events" which of course fails.
And I guess that you know that entering "Évé" to reach the entry is not really ergonomic.
But I will not complain too much. If I was doing, somebody would be able to decide that "Finder" must be localized too 🙄
