Hi,

Try following snippet

var path = "~/Desktop";
var folder = Folder(path);
if(folder.exists)
    folder.execute();

Let us know if this works for you.

Yes Mohammad,

It is possible to open any folder path using InDesign JavaScript.

For Windows user if folder is locked by adminstrative, then code won't be able to open that folder.

Folder can be opened using this code :

var folderPath = "D:/Temporary Folder/SunilTestFolder";

if(Folder(folderPath).exists){

    Folder(folderPath).execute();

}

Best

This script to select any folder path:

var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select a folder");
if(myFolder != null){
if(myFolder instanceof Folder){
alert("fsName: " + myFolder.fsName);
alert("fullName: " + myFolder.fullName);
alert("name: " + myFolder.name);
}
}
