Hi Jack, A couple of things to check... 1. Have you tried restarting your Mac to make sure it's not just OS X misbehaving a little? 2. Do you use a third-party Finder replacement? If so, it's possible that OS X is unable to clearly identify which Finder to reveal the files in. You may need to unset and re-set your Finder replacement so that OS X knows to use that. 3. It might sound silly, but if you have multiple screens, check it's not opening on the wrong screen. Let me know how you get on Cheers, Vero Link to comment

No third-party Finder replacement and only one screen. Just restarted and have my fingers crossed. Thanks! Link to comment

Vero Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hi Vero, problem is not resolved. Could you please open Console app and let me know if anything is reported when it fails? Link to comment
jackbrannen Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Could you please open Console app and let me know if anything is reported when it fails? Thanks. Nothing new appears in the Console when it is occurring. Link to comment
Vero Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks. Nothing new appears in the Console when it is occurring. Could you please create a new account on your Mac and try to replicate the issue there? There may very well be a Finder configuration corruption issue on your main profile. I've tried to replicate this issue and haven't been able to - Alfred uses a very simple API call to reveal files in Finder, and it's not an issue that's been reported by other users, which leads me to the conclusion above about likely corruption.
