Hi!

Does anyone have any idea on how I would go about opening a Finder/Explorer window at a specific path from within Hollywood?

I can't seem to find the correct function for this.

Thanks!

This might be what you want:

I think he is referring to a command to open a system explorer/finder window...

@Figgy78
You should try OpenURL() command with the path that you want to explore

For example on Windows:

You should try OpenURL() command with the path that you want to explore

Exactly what I was looking for. Works like a dream.

I actually found this command but didn't bother to test it as I assosiate URL's with the Internet. I was schooled.

Follow up question:

This works fine in Windows, but I compiled it for MacOS and tried it, and it doesn't seem to work with Finder?

Hi,

On Mac you have to add file:// prefix, following works for me:
Is there a way to get the path to $HOME in Hollywood?

Check out GetSystemInfo().

Combined with GetVersion() this is a rocking combination

Cheers!
