I'm running an intel iMac, so perhaps it's something to do with that.
I'm now using this very cumbersome approach...
on FetchFileContainer()
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set fp to do javascript "activeDocument.path"
end tell
set fp to my convertString(fp, "%20", " ") as text
set newerPath to (POSIX file fp) as text
set newerPath to newerPath as text
if "Desktop" is in newerPath then
set newerPath to newerPath & ":"
repeat 3 times
set o to offset of ":" in newerPath
try
set newerPath to items (o + 1) thru end of newerPath as text
on error
if newerPath = "Desktop:" then set newerPath to ""
end try
end repeat
set ptd to path to desktop as text
set newerPath to ptd & newerPath
end if
set C to newerPath
if "desktop" is not in newerPath then
set o to offset of ":" in newerPath
set newerPath to items (o + 1) thru end of newerPath as text as alias
tell application "Finder"
try
set C to container of (newerPath)
end try
end tell
end if
return C as text
end FetchFileContainer
on convertString(tString, ToFind, Tochange)
set {oAStid, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, ToFind}
set tString to text items of tString
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to Tochange
set tString to tString as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oAStid
return tString
end convertString
