Go to Folder/Path

[ssaucedo]

In FM you can create a script that will open a file.

But how can you create a script that will take you to a folder, a path say on a network, a type of "Go To" action, as opposed to opening a file.

As of the time of this edit, there were 39 views and no replies, am I to interpret this as this is not possible in FM?

OK, what is the goal here besides a file open dialog?

[ssaucedo]

To direct the user to a place on the network not a specific file.

What if you write a script to open a file in a network folder, knowing that the file will never be there, so it'll fail? Will this give you a File Open dialog in the correct folder? (just thinking out loud).

Have you tried Open URL[]?

[ssaucedo]

thanks for the url suggestion but it doesnt work.

[ssaucedo]

I maybe doing something wrong but I the open file option only allows the opening of FM files.

It works for me, so... (I never know what to reply to "it doesn't work").

Applescript is also another possibility.

[ssaucedo]

can you give me an example of the path, maybe i am missing a , - or something

I dropped a folder into Firefox and copied the URL from there. It looks like:

"file:///Users/myUserName/Desktop/FolderName/"
