I try this in AppleScript (with success):

getting the content of a selected folder

there are different 'types' of objects "Finder" is listing:

  • folder
  • alias
  • file

etc

where and how can I get this information about the objects?

Thanks for support

Finder and/or System Events can provide some information (see their scripting dictionaries), and the Cocoa API (via AppleScriptObjC) can use framework methods such as NSURL's getResourceValue. You would need to provide additional details for a more specific answer.
