Re: How to open a folder in explorer

Hi @itzikd,

 

On a Windows machine you should be able to do that with Open():

 

Open("c:\Applications\");

 

On a Mac it will require use of RunProgram(): 

RunProgram(
	Executable( "/usr/bin/open" ),
	options({"/HDD/Applications/"})
);

 

I hope this helps!
