Open a copy of the current Finder window via AppleScript
Jan 11, '08 07:30:05AM • Contributed by: dtomasch
Sometimes I find myself needing to open a second copy of the current Finder window I have open. There's no default way to do this in Mac OS X, so I wrote a small script to take care of it for me:
I use Butler to assign this a hot key, which then opens these copies when I need them.

I've been looking for something like this for a while.

What is also working (and perhaps simpler) is to make an alias of the open folder and double click this alias.

That's been the default way, IIRC, since Panther days.

Thanks for this. And thanks for the save as app idea also. Both great.

Maybe you didn't knew about "Clone" ;-)
<< Clone lives at <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/software/> Icon donated by François Lazard <francois.lazard@free.fr> May 20, 2002 Clone is a Toolbar Script for Mac OS X. About Toolbar Scripts: See <http://www.apple.com/applescript/macosx/toolbar_scripts/>. Use: Clone creates a clone of the frontmost Finder window. The cloned window has the same size and view of the original. Useful when you're moving or copying files. If the original window is set to icon or list view, the clone will be places to the right of it. If the original window is set to column view, the clone is placed below it.>> runs flawlessly on my iMac G5 - 10.4.11 ;-)

May take an extra click but nothing extra needed: with the pathbar showing in the Finder window, just control-click on the folder whose window you want to clone and select "Open Enclosing Folder". Then open the enclosed folder of interest and you're there.

For more robust window management stuff I use Simple WindowSets. It works pretty good.

Open a copy of the current Finder window via AppleScript
thanks for this script. following the example here, I created an icon for this script so it would look nice in my finder windows. Basically, I took the textmate icon and replaced it with this plus icon (which I found on apple's site).
Command clicking?
Can somebody tell me what's the different between this Applescript and command double clicking on the folder, it looks to me that the result (clone window) is the same.
Command clicking?
Command double-clicking on a folder will open that folder in a new window. This script is for opening the folder currently being displayed in a new window-cloning it, so to speak. |
