Hello
How can I insert an applescript in FileMakerPro 13 which would pick up a video file path and open it in finder hiding the Filemaker window?
All my video files are in a “path field” with this format:
/Volumes/SHOWDOW_2017/SYnch Tests/27 - 17072017/Video 17072017/_DSC187.mov
Thanks and regards
Model: MACPRO
Browser: Safari 537.36
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.10.5)
Thanks for your reply and time
What I was asking is not to have Quicktime to open the file, although this is what people normally do, I simply hope to tell FileMaker to activate and display a file in the folder where is located.
Once the finder displays the file I will do what I need which varies from deleting it, to drop it in some other apps and more.
FMP has a command “Open URL” which opens files with their selected apps. SO txt will be “Textwrangler” jpg will be preview and so on. But I simply need to see it in a Finder window.
I think is a simple question: but the format of the path in the Filemaker field is always as I display in the main question, but I don’t know how to convert the way Filemaker write files Paths to a format which the finder will recognise to then simply select and highlight it opening the folder where the file is located.
The FileMaker path is as follows
/Volumes/SHOWDOW_2017/SYnch Tests/27 - 17072017/Video 17072017/_DSC9348.MOV
where the last chunk (_DSC9348.MOV) will change according to the record I select to perform the FMP script which should be a calculated script
Thanks again
