Open in Terminal from Finder
May 17th, 2006
This is a trivial AppleScript
tell application "Finder"
set targ to target of Finder window 1
set myPath to POSIX path of (targ as string)
end tell
tell application "Terminal" to do script "cd \""& myPath & "\""
Here you can see a couple of screenshots.
If you want to download the application (with pretty icon) that uses it, you can download it from here.
Edit: Thanks to Marco Balestra for showing me his own script (that does the same thing, but is much cleaner). Now I included his script instead of mine.
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 "Terminal" do script "cd " & myPath activate end tell end run
