A custom function to create and open a folder on the Mac OS X operating system.
Sample Input:
Let(
[
f = folderName;
mypath = "/Volumes" & Substitute ( Get ( FilePath ) ; ["file:" ; ""]; [ Get ( FileName ) & ".fp7" ; ""] )
];
OpenFolder ( mypath; f )
) |
|
Sample Output:
do shell script "path="/Volumes/Hard Drive/Users/me/Desktop/New Folder"; if [ ! -d "$path" ];then mkdir "$path"; open "$path"; else open "$path"; fi"
New folder (relative to the FMP file) is created and opened if it does not exist. Otherwise the folder is simply opened. |
