Question

I’m trying to automate opening and saving a file in applescript. I can’t seem to get consistent results with the save dialog though. Is it possible to change a save dialog to a specific folder in applescript?

Answer 1

This might help you navigate to a folder once the save dialog is raised:

set the clipboard to "/path/to/your/folder"

tell application "System Events" to tell process "SketchUp" -- I'm guessing on SketchUp name
    keystroke "G" using {command down, shift down}
    delay 1
    keystroke "v" using {command down}
    delay 1
    keystroke return
    delay 1
    keystroke return
    delay 1
end tell
