    Ok this is probably dead simple, but I havent figured out to do this yet
    how do I make a macro that opens up a specific folder on my Harddrive?

        You can use the action "Open Folder/Directory in Finder"

                it looks to me like you might have an extra 'h' in macintosh !

                        All good, it happens to everyone. Try the path from Users/thomasstengaard/Dropbox/LOGIC BOUNCES

                              Hi @Thomas_Stengaard,

                              It looks like the path you've provided is not in the format that is required.

                              To get the path for the folder you want to open with SoundFlow follow these steps.

                              • In Finder, on your desktop, navigate to the folder you want to open.
                              • Select it and use the keyboard shortcut "Command + Option + C", which will copy the folder's path into the clipboard.
                              • Switch back to SoundFlow and paste the copied path into the "Path" property of the "Open Folder/Directory in Finder".

                              Folder paths will look something like this.
                              /Users/username/Desktop/my Folder

                              Let me know if you need further guidance.
