I want to make a new disk browser showing the contents of a certain
folder. I am having no success. Here's one routine I've tried:
set _dir to alias "x:y:z" -- any alias is a file that _exists_!
tell application "BBEdit"
set _dbw to make disk browser window
tell _dbw
set its selection to {_dir}
end tell
end tell
and here's another
set _f to alias "x:y:z"
tell application "BBEdit"
make disk browser window with properties {selection:{_f}}
end tell
--=> error "BBEdit got an error: An attempt was made to
resolve an Apple Event reference to a non-existent object (MacOS
Error code: -1728)" number -1728 from disk browser window
The sdef dictionary under 'window' gives 'selection' as a writable
property, and the disk browser window has certainly has the property
selection:{file "p:q:r"}.
It seems to me BareBones makes no distinction between file "x" and
alias "x", so this adds further complications. From the year dot,
file "x" need not exist, whereas alias "x" must exist.
Can anyone provide me with a working example?
