Shane,

Thanks.  I can, and do, read and study each post before I ask a question.
So, for me, the subject did NOT say it well for your script.

Are you sure it is exactly the same purpose as Chris's script?
Chris' script actually moves the Finder selection.  Does yours?

If yours does actually move the selection, could you please point out the specific statement that does so?

Don't these statements from your script change things?


tell application "Finder"
-- move finderSelectionList to destinationFolder
delay 0.05
try
tell front window to select item newItemName of winTarget
end try
end tell


My key concern, which would have been most helpful if you had addressed, was:
It doesn't look like it changes any files or folders, but I can't be for sure, so I don't want to run it to see what happens.

So, it looks like to me that the purpose of your script is to show a better method of selecting the next Finder Item after the current selection, without actually moving the selection.

Correct, or not?

Best Regards,

Jim Underwood
aka JMichaelTX

Perhaps the purpose/objective of your script is obvious to some, but not to me (and maybe not to other ASObjC neophytes).

It's a rework of Chris's, so it has the same purpose. The subject says it pretty well.
