Hi everyone, there is a way to open a finder windows when another is already open?
When use the action "open finder" if there is another Finder windows already open don't work, if I use this action combined with a "cmd+N" the first time, if there is no finder windows open, BTT open 2 Finder windows.
Thanks.
Hi @spawn5m, welcome to the community!
Would something like this work for you?
My configuration first uses an If Condition type of Action with its "condition" set to:
if ( running_process CONTAINS "Finder" )
This condition evaluates to true when the Finder application is running and false when it is not running.
If it evaluates to true, then the Send Shortcut to Specific App Action will be executed. Specifically, the Action is configured to send ⌘ N to the Finder app.
If it evaluates to false, then the Open Finder Action will be executed.
If you copy this JSON, then you can paste it into the BTT Action configuration section to replicate what I made in the screenshot:

@spawn5m let me know if you need any help.
Is perfect, sorry for late response but this day I was outside my home for work and I can't try before.
So there is if condition and this is wonderful.
Thanks a lot
