Open Finder Window with Pointer

#1

Hi folks.

Is there a way to open a finder window pointing to a certain directory? I’d like to say “open a new finder window in column view, pointing to ‘~/Pictures/cars/mine/’”.

Is this possible? It might be a property, but I’m not sure.

Cheers

Hi,

try this


set windowTarget to (path to pictures folder as text) & "cars:mine:"
tell application "Finder"
	activate
	tell (make new Finder window)
		set target to folder windowTarget
		set current view to column view
	end tell
end tell
