Hey Lewis,

It does.

It's polite to provide at least basic error-handling in publicly posted 
scripts, although I'm guilty of not always doing so.  :)

I'm somewhat lax about error-handlers in AppleScripts I run on my own machine, 
because I nearly always run them from FastScripts – which has it's own error 
wrapper and error dialog.

BBEdit's script menu has a similar mechanism.

Giving a script more specific error messages helps unsophisticated users and 
can sometimes keep me from having too many "Huh!!??" moments.

My most generic error handler:



try

1 / 0 -- generate an error for testing.

on error e number n
set e to e & return & return & "Num: " & n
if n ≠ -128 then
try
tell application (path to frontmost application as text) to set 
ddButton to button returned of ¬
(display dialog e with title "ERROR!" buttons {"Copy Error 
Message", "Cancel", "OK"} ¬
default button "OK" giving up after 30)
if ddButton = "Copy Error Message" then set the clipboard to e
end try
end if
end try

I have a script that does, I think, the same thing:


set appID to “com.barebones.BBEdit"
tell application "Finder"
set myList to selection as alias list
if length of myList > 0 then
open myList using application file id appID
end if
end tell

Is there a reason to return an error?

Hey Jean-Christophe,

If you really want a one-size-fits-all approach then this is the way to go:


# Auth: Christopher Stone
# dCre: 2018/07/24 15:19
# dMod: 2018/07/24 15:19 
# Appl: Finder and any given application.
# Task: Open the Finder selection with a given app's bundle identifier.
# Libs: None
# Osax: None
# Tags: @ccstone, @Applescript, @Script, @Finder, @Open, @Finder, @Selection, 
@Bundle, @Identifier, @ID


# Bundle Identifier of the app you want to open the selected files.
set appID to "com.apple.TextEdit"

tell application "Finder"
set finderSelectionList to selection as alias list
if length of finderSelectionList = 0 then error "No files were selected in 
the Finder!"

open finderSelectionList using application file id appID

end tell



It should work with just about any application.
