Open container contents

[yomaddog]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to open the contents of a container with a script?

(auto open a file from another program)

I guess you must be on windows and have something like a word document in the container field, showing as an icon ?? If so, this script will do it.

Go To Field [yourfield][select/Perform]

Make sure you check the Select/Perform box in the script.

If you are storing images as references to files, you can us AppleScript to open the image in a given application.

Thanks for replying.

RussBaker,

I've tried the:

Go To Field [yourfield][select/Perform]

...wouldn't do it.

jfmcel,

The file in the container is for a program unrelated to FM. It is opened by a different program.

The container holds different files depending on a search performed. Presently, I must double-click to open, & I'm trying to build the script from this point:

Perform Find

If [" not IsEmpty(PORTAL)"]

Windows XP-

If you're on XP, the applescript approach won't work as well.

Hey guys!

Got it working:

Go To Field [yourfield][select/Perform]

I just forgot to enter "Browse" in the script prior to it!

(the script is initiated by a search type of button, that enters "Find" mode first!)

OK, now how can I maximize it when I return to this layout. It minimizes upon return- and if I use:

Go To Field [yourfield][select/Perform]

-it loads a second time & so on. I need one instance maximized on this layout.

(thanks so much!)
