macOS Applescript: Trying to create a new folder.

[Mr_Questor]

I am trying to use AppleScript to create a new folder on an external drive. Here is the code that I am trying:

tell application "Finder"
set x to POSIX path of file "LaCie:ash Cam"
make new folder at x with properties {name:"New Folder"}
end tell

When I try to run the script, I get "error "Finder got an error: AppleEvent handler failed." number -10000"

I have attached a screen shot of my attempt.

Please advise.....

Hi,

The obvious error is that you need to pass an alias rather than a POSIX path.

Hope that helps!
