Since the root folder isn't a real folder, and isn't represented
anywhere in the hierarchy, I haven't been able to get it to open except
by clicking on the imac in the toolbar. <aside> Apple, Shouldn't that
icon change to reflect the HW you are using? </aside>
I wanted to have a dock icon that opens that location instead of
opening a disk and naving back to the root. I figured a stay open app
would be the trick, but I couldn't get it to work. The closest thing I
could do was...
set sud to path to the startup disk as string
tell application "Finder"
open container of (sud as alias)
set current view of window 1 to column view
end tell
Yuck! And that window also wouldn't contain the 'network' icon! Bummer.
Today I tried...
open location "/"
cool.
