That does look good. I wish I knew this straight off, I'm not very good with
AppleScript as when I see the dictionary it just confuses me what I'm
suppose to do. Are there any good reference's for learning this language and
knowing what to do.
As this seems like the route to close a window. How would I get a list of
all window the finder has open, and then just close the ones which has a
path starting with "/Volumes/Dev". I have seen there is an attribute called
path, so I guess I can use that, but what about getting the list of open
windows and iterating them ??
Thanks
Mark.
