Displaying a filename

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Ok, I may be new to this but I feel pretty dumb right now.

All I want to do is to display the filename of a file dropped into a folder (as part of my debugging process for a different script).

Any idea why this doesn’t work?

Thanks.

only the Finder and System Event know the name of a file.
An alternative is info for of Standard Additions
