Still works... I did miss the local though and skipped my eyes to the

In any case, try this form:

To pass file paths to cp, you'll need to escape spaces in the file

replace space with (\space) in filePath
or

That'll get you in the right app, *then* open the file.

If you don't care about the file type/creator, you may be

Actually, it seems that it doesn't matter if you tell the Finder to open
