Open in iTerm from Finder
May 17th, 2006
Since I’ve been asked to do it, I wrote the “Open in iTerm” app, that does the very same thing than “Open in Terminal” (except that it uses iTerm instead of Terminal.app)
Actually there could be bugs, but at least on my system I suppose it’s not my fault, but rather it is iTerm that crashes a lot (maybe the AppleScript part has not been tested extensively on intel macs).
If you experience problems, let me know.
The script part that accesses iTerm is
tell application "iTerm" activate set myTerm to (make new terminal) tell myTerm set mySession to (make new session at the end of sessions) tell mySession exec command "/bin/bash" write text "cd \""& myPath &"\"" end tell end tell end tell
I bundled both apps in the very same package, and you can download it here.
I upgraded this script too with Marco’s help.
on run tell application "Finder" to try set myPath to quoted form of ¬ POSIX path of ((target of window 1) as string) on error set myPath to "~" end try tell application "iTerm" activate set myTerm to (make new terminal) tell myTerm set mySession to (make new session at the end of sessions) tell mySession exec command "/bin/bash" write text "cd "& myPath end tell end tell end tell end run
Definitive?
After some discussion on icm and the help of tv and Marco (thank you guys) we came to this
on run
tell app "Finder"
try
set myPath to quoted form of ¬
POSIX path of ((target of window 1) as string)
on error
set myPath to "~"
end
set esiste to ((count (get ¬
name of every application process ¬
whose creator type is "ITRM")) is not 0)
end
tell app "iTerm"
activate
if esiste then
set myTerm to (make new terminal)
else
set myTerm to the first terminal
end if
tell myTerm
make new session at the end of sessions
tell the last session
exec command "/bin/bash"
write text "cd " & myPath
end
end
end
end
