Re: Open a folder on the desktop from a LiveCode app
I like to use the full path to the file and use the /SELECT switch. This opens
the folder AND selects the file.
on mouseUp
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
get shell("explorer.exe /SELECT," & quote & tPathToFile & quote)
end mouseUp

Re: Open a folder on the desktop from a LiveCode app
launch document tPathToFolder would also work Regards Matthias > Am 19.06.2021 um 20:48 schrieb Paul Dupuis via use-livecode > : > > What is the "best" way (or any way) to open a folder on the Windows desktop > from a Livecode script. > > For example: > > on openFolder pPath -- where pPath is the path and name to a document (file) > set itemDel to slash > delete last item of pPath -- leaves the the path to the folder containing > the document > -- now, how do I open this on the desktop (i.e in Explorer)? > > > end openFolder > > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Open a folder on the desktop from a LiveCode app
I use:
launch url ("file:" & tPathToFolder)
