Goto Directory from Open File Dialog Window

It would also be awesome to know how to then move a file in the finder in the background.

The application is that I am converting some Finale files as they are dead ending the app. So I want to be able to navigate to the source folder for the finale files, open one, then when I export it I want to navigate to the folder where I am saving exported files and save it. It would then be even more awesome if I could move the finale file that's been exported into a folder for completed files.

I am sure there are also many other ways I might use this related to PT as well :)

Hi Steve,

This is a script that will navigate to as specified directory of an "Open" or "Save" dialog in the frontmost app.

function navigateToDirectoryInOpenOrSaveDialog({ directoryPath }) {
    const dialog = sf.ui.frontmostApp.windows.find(w => {
        return w.title.value === "Open"
            || w.title.value === "Save"
    });

    dialog.elementWaitFor();

    dialog.elementRaise();

    //Open the path navigation sheet.
    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "slash", });

    const sheet = dialog.sheets.first;

    sheet.elementWaitFor();

    const pathField = sheet.textFields.first;

    pathField.elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({ value: directoryPath });

    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "return", });
}

navigateToDirectoryInOpenOrSaveDialog({
    directoryPath: "~/Desktop/Test Folder/" // Update with your target directory.
});
