workflow Path Finder: open new window

[Qwarqwa]

Hi: 

i tried a seemingly simple thing, opening and closing the active window in Path Finder. However ... closing runs smoothly with

 

on run argv
  tell application "Path Finder" to close every window
end run

 

however opening does not work:

 

on run argv
  tell application "Path Finder" to open new window
end run

 

Why is this, appreciate some help!

You should read the application's dictionary in Script Editor. The open command takes a file path (or multiple file paths):

 

tell application "Path Finder" to open (path to home folder)

 

You probably also want to activate the app:

 

tell application "Path Finder"

    open (path to home folder)

    activate

end tell

Thx a bunch, deanishe! You refer to the Apple Script Language Guide, I suppose. I'll check it out.

 

Thx for helping!

No, I'm referring to Path Finder's scripting dictionary, which you can read in Script Editor. 

 

Check out Script Editor's File menu.
