O shoot I got that wrong. If you used .item and the file is an alias it will resolve and the properties will reflect what ever it resolves to. If you use .trueitem the properties will say it's a file regardless of weather or not it resolves to a file or folder.

It will be a file, because it doesn't matter what the alias points to. An alias is basically a file with some information stored it so it knows where the original to resolve to is.

If a folderitem variable represents an alias, what will the directory property be? For example, if it were a folder, it would be true, or if it were a file it would be false.
