Hi David,

Sorry for the delay in response. If I heard you right, it looks you are trying to do this: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mac-help/mchlp1032/11.0/mac/11.0#:~:text=Open%20a%20single%20folder&text=The%20folder%20opens%20in%20a,have%20folders%20open%20in%20windows.

If so, I would suggest trying the steps and see if that helps.

Thanks,

Harshika

Thank you Harshika but this is not the answer i was looking for.

i was hoping to open folders using Adobe XD UXP JavaScript library/API... for example, here is the UXP API https://adobexdplatform.com/plugin-docs/reference/uxp/ i was wondering if its possible to simply open a folder in finder using Adobe XD API JavaScript.

thank you

maybe i am making it too complicated..

lets say i want to open a folder.. lets say the folder is this..

/User/skywalker/Desktop/images

how can i open this using JavaScript.. i assume tehre should be a langauge like

let folder = new Folder();

folder.open("User/skywalker/Desktop/images");
