Newbie help needed.....
Currently I have a small script:
tell application "Finder"
activate
make new Finder window
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "thisone" of disk "drive1"
End tell
The problem is if I run it 2x then it opens 2 copies of the same
window ...
Is there a way to first check if that window is already open and
only open
it if it isn't already open?
Sure, ask the Finder:
tell application "Finder"
activate
if not (exists Finder window "thisone") then
make new Finder window
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "thisone" of disk
"drive1"
end if
end tell
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.
