We've become so used to defaultFolder working that most of us don't do
as much error-checking as we should. A lot of us spend way too much
time last year tracking down what we thought were recursion limits in a
directory walker when the culprit was simply a defaultFolder assignment
that didn't take.
To rule that out here I'd add a check of the result with sysError:
on preOpenStack
set itemDel to "/"
set the defaultfolder to item 1 to -2 of \
(the effective fileName of this stack)
if the result is not empty then
answer "Couldn't set defaultfolder: "& \
the result &" ("& sysError()&")"
end if
end preOpenStack
You may never need it, but if there's a reason that's failing at least
you'll know what the OS thinks it is.
