I have the following script, which other than one problem, works

open folder posicAPath
set current view of window 1 to column view
end tell
You may want to 'set current view ...' first, followed by 'open ...'.
I have found that doing it that way will result in the 'Always open
in ...' box being checked.
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.
Any suggestions to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
This is something that Apple will have to fix. It's the main reason I
don't often use column view. When you select an item in a column, the
column to its right is revealed so that you can navigate into sub-
folders. But if you want to back-out to a parent, you're stuck with
scrolling to the left. What ought to happen when you select an item in
a column is that the selected column is centered so that both the left
column and the right column are revealed.
