macOS AppleScript: Choose folder/file

[Miles.Kelly97]

Hi guys,

I have an AppleScript where it gives the user an option to to click on two buttons (one to choose a file and one to choose a folder) to be uploaded to a server.

However when they are in the choose folder/file they can't interact with Finder or their desktops (opening a new window or click on any files on the desktop)

Is there anyway that I can have them in the choose file/folder dialog and let them interact with Finder still.

As an example I ran this and before you choose a file or folder try and click on the desktop or interact with Finder

tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set test to choose folder with prompt "Select your file(s) to be uploaded"
end tell

Thanks
Miles

Don't target the Finder. The choose file/folder dialogs are from Standard Additions, so the Finder isn't needed anyway.
