You got lots of responses about wether a folder exists, but to check if a
folder does not contain files ("is empty") one has to do a rather complex
script:
function folderIsEmpty theValidPath
set the defaultFolder to theValidPath
put the files into theList
filter theList without ".*"
if the number of words in theList <= 0 then
return "empty"
end if
end folderIsEmpty
Maybe there's additional problems with invisible and hidden files on windows?
