It seems that tell me is necessary to “log” properties at least in
QuicktimePlayer. I just added “Tell me” on a hunch. Otherwise,
the output is not helpful in some cases as shown below
tell application "QuickTime Player"
set docName to open file ((path to music folder as text) &
"itunes:itunes music:unknown artist:none:Gunshot01.mp3")
log docName's duration
set x to docName's duration
log {"docName's duration=", x}
tell me to log {"tell me ", docName's duration, docName's data size,
docName's data rate}
log {"do not tell me : ", docName's duration, docName's data size,
docName's data rate}
--{docName's duration, docName's data size, docName's data rate}
end tell
=======================
tell application "QuickTime Player"
path to music folder as text
--> "After Ewe:Users:Walter:Music:"
open file "After Ewe:Users:Walter:Music:itunes:itunes music:unknown
artist:none:Gunshot01.mp3"
--> document "Gunshot01.mp3"
(*duration of document Gunshot01.mp3*)
get duration of document "Gunshot01.mp3"
--> 0.470204081633
end tell
(*docName's duration=, 0.470204081633*)
tell application "QuickTime Player"
get duration of document "Gunshot01.mp3"
--> 0.470204081633
get data size of document "Gunshot01.mp3"
--> 10684
get data rate of document "Gunshot01.mp3"
--> 22722
end tell
(*tell me , 0.470204081633, 10684, 22722*)
tell application "QuickTime Player"
(*do not tell me : , duration of document Gunshot01.mp3, data size of
document Gunshot01.mp3, data rate of document Gunshot01.mp3*)
end tell

What is the difference between unethical and ethical advertising? Unethical
advertising uses falsehoods to deceive the public; ethical advertising uses
truth to deceive the public.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson (1879 – 1962)
