Question

I have a script that:

• creates a new folder
• scans an InDesign document for images
• formats the images and copies them to the new folder

When the script is done doing all of this I want it to bring to focus the new folder directory (in Windows).

As of now I am displaying the folder-path in an alert window, but I would rather it open the directory (if it isn’t already) so the user can see the new files.

I wish I could just call one of these:

• myNewFolder.bringToFront() :  works only on program focus, i.e. —                                                             BridgeTalk.bringToFront("photoshop")
• myNewFolder.open() :  seems to apply only to file I/O operations
• myNewFolder.show() :  seems to apply only to the  Window  object

…but none of these work.

EDIT:   new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")  does not work either…

Answer 1

You have to use the execute method.

myFolder.execute();
