Good morning Chris, It's a good feeling when that starts to happen. :)
Yeah, it was a bit tongue-in-cheeky, plus I'm probably going to forget all that 6 months from now...
# Task: CD to Front Finder Window's Directory.
tell application "Finder" to set _dir to insertion location as alias
I should have looked at the task description first because I was getting a weird error right from this line when I realized that I was selecting a folder in a search window... Such folders don't seem to have containers so there is no alias for the insertion location... And there is no way to make a "cd" there...
I do have a "cd" thingy too and I'm using
set _folder to (the target of the front window) as alias
instead of "insertion location"
What are the differences between the two ?
# Task: Get posix path of selected item(s) or if none the front window and copy to clipboard.
I have one like this too, but it's extremely rudimentary. Basically it uses:
do script "echo " & _path & " | pbcopy"
