Opening newest file in a folder

[brilliant5125]

I'm a little perplexed at the best way (or any way actually) to do this. I'd like to have a workflow that opens the newest file in a set folder automatically. I have a workflow that opens said folder, but the reality is 99.9% of the time when I go to this folder (multiple times a day), what I am looking for is the newest file. How can I open a specific file if I don't know the file name in advance?

Write a script that finds the newest file in the directory?

You can grab RecentDownloads (disclaimer: I wrote it) and go into the top Script Filter and change the directory listed on the second line of code. Instead of ${HOME}/Downloads, change to whatever your target directory is. That still won’t automatically open the most recent file, but it’ll list everything on that directory with the newest thing on top.

I use this script so often. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing it.
