check if the folder exists

[gionnyp9672044]

I would like to create a script

that selects a folder with the name test

the folder is on the desktop

so I get to the point

if the test folder exists, the warning goes out ok

if the folder does not exist, a warning ko is issued

thank you

Is this the sort of thing you're after?

   var dt =  "~/Desktop/"
    var aFolder= Folder (dt + "/test/")
    if (!aFolder.exists) { alert("no folder")
    } else { alert ("folder exists") }

works well

a question

if the test folder is in the same folder as the script

how could it be done?

Not sure with the script location, but you can for the active document.

I do not know if you can use it

Folder.path
