Open Finder Tabs with Automator?
I'd like to say that the problem I want to solve is pretty simple, but I can't seem to find any good resources to tackle it.
I'd like to have an Automator application that will open all of my SMB/network shares (these are constant, but are sometimes not mounted) in a single window in multiple tabs. I can't seem to find any way to do it because Automator doesn't seem to address Finder tabs at all.
Any thoughts?
Solution 1:
This is what I ended up doing, with help from BritishColour. I ended up adjusting the delays because the Cmd + G was being a little quirky and not registering the key code 36 (enter) command. This also calls up Finder so it doesn't activate in whatever program I might be using in the moment.
on run
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "n" using {command down}
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
keystroke "/Volumes/XXXX"
delay 1
key code 36
delay 1
keystroke "t" using {command down}
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
keystroke "/Volumes/XXXX2"
delay 2
key code 36
delay 1
keystroke "t" using {command down}
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
keystroke "/Volumes/XXXX3"
delay 1
key code 36
delay 1
keystroke "t" using {command down}
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
keystroke "/Volumes/XXXX4"
delay 1
key code 36
delay 1
keystroke "t" using {command down}
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
keystroke "/Volumes/XXXX5"
delay 1
key code 36
delay 1
keystroke "t" using {command down}
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
keystroke "/Volumes/XXXX6"
delay 1
key code 36
delay 1
keystroke "t" using {command down}
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
keystroke "/Volumes/XXXX7"
delay 1
key code 36
delay 1
end tell
end run
