Finder won't open my file

Hello,

I would like to open automatically the last saved file from a folder residing on an external drive but my script is throwing an error!

Can anyone help to debug it?


tell application "Finder"
	open (select item -1 of (sort (get files of folder "Volumes:Design:Item No. rules:") by modification date))
end tell

Here is the error:
error “Finder got an error: Can’t get folder "Volumes:Design:Item No. rules:".” number -1728 from folder “Volumes:Design:Item No. rules:”

When I use the following script it works but no with the above??? I do not want to have to choose the folder


set theFolder to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
	open (select item -1 of (sort (get files of folder theFolder) by modification date))
end tell

I am running mavericks.

Thanks

Hi,

HFS paths start always with a disk name even for external volumes.
Explicitly selecting the file is not needed


tell application "Finder"
   open (last item of (sort (get files of folder "Design:Item No. rules:") by modification date))
end tell

Thank you Stefan.

It is working now.
