The folder is selected just fine. The problem is that when the number of items in the column view exceeds the size of the column view, I can't see the 'selected' folder without first manually scrolling to the folder, which I would like to avoid.

I seem to be missing something; I don't see anything in that script that selects anything.


I also don't see the need for
set aPath to "/Users/User A/File X"
	set posicAPath to (aPath as POSIX file) as string
	open folder posicAPath

When this works just as well in one line: open (folder (path to home folder) as text) & "Folder X"
