Launching a Finder Window on MacOS using JSL

I often find it useful to launch a window containing files in a specific folder.  On windows it is trivial, you just provide the directory path as input to the Open function:

open( convertFilePath("$Documents") )

This doesn't work on MacOS.

Any ideas how I can achieve the same outcome on a mac?

Hi @David_Burnham,

Here's a method I've used with my Mac scripts using RunProgram():

exampleDir = Pick Directory();
RunProgram( Executable( "/usr/bin/open" ), options( {exampleDir} ) );
