revealinfinder
revealinfinder
PATH

The revealinfinder statement reveals a file or folder in the Finder.

Parameters

This statement has one parameter:

path – is a path to the file or folder to be revealed, including the file or folder name (see Files and Folders for more information about file paths).

Description

This statement reveals a document or application in the Finder. A new Finder window opens displaying the specified item, with the specified item highlighted. This example will reveal the PDF document concert-ticket.pdf in the Finder

    revealinfinder "~/downloads/concert-ticket.pdf"

If you want to reveal multiple items, use the revealmultipleinfinder statement.

##### Legacy Two-parameter Syntax

Previous versions of Panorama (version 6 and before) used a two-parameter format for the revealinfinder statement:

    revealinfinder folder,filename

For compatibility with existing databases, this format still works. Here is an example that reveals an image that is in a subfolder of the folder that contains the current database.

    revealinfinder dbsubfolder("Images"),"someimage.png"
