Launch OSX finder to open a spesific folder?

[thomthom]

Anyone knows if one can via SketchUp Ruby launch a Finder window at a given path?

[tbd]

system  "open '/your/path'"

cheers!

TBD is right of course, but I prefer using:

UI.openURL()

for Sketchup Ruby stuff which works for Windows and Mac.

UI.openURL("file:///" + path2folder) should open the folder on a PC or a MAC.

Seems to splat if there are non-ASCII characters in the path.

You can gsub them into html friendly codes ?
These non-ASCII characters and Ruby

hmmm.... maybe URL encoding them is the way to go... I'll have to try that. That might solve another problem I had when I used system - it would not open non-ASCII paths.
