Re: Checking If A Finder Window Is Already Open

Of course this check is crude - it would match any window called 'thisone", so if you're using a common folder name this test might not be sufficient, but you can add whatever check you're comfortable with.

I suppose one way of approaching that issue might be to address the folder itself:


tell application "Finder" to tell folder "thisone" of disk ¬
	"drive1" to if not (exists container window) then open
