This is unnecessary

That might be true in this script, but not in general.

Not sure where and when exactly this happens, however in some situations type as string returns raw syntax. Had a hard time figuring that out.

@cgrunenberg, I just checked the new hint about the type as string issue …

@cgrunenberg

It doesn’t make a difference whether it’s in the menu or toolbar over here, the conversion of the type to a string fails. The mysteries of AppleScript

Note: In compiled menu/toolbar scripts you might have to use a string representation of the type for comparisons.

… to show @BLUEFROG that it’s a known issue - but it’s not mentioned

Wouldn’t it make sense to add “and its raw syntax”? Without it users get only half of the solution …

@cgrunenberg

A workaround might look like this:

if recordType as string is "quicktime" or recordType as string is "«constant ****quti»" then

… I think.
