I need to check the contents of my folder regularly when debugging my patches. I'd like to open a specific folder with one message. I tried typing "; max launchbrowser folder path" in a message box but it did not work. [opendialog] is not ideal either - I cannot specify the folder path for it.

you can fiddle with proper path format on windows if that is your os.

I'm on Mac and this worked perfectly. Thank you.

Just wondering, why all the forward-slashes in the sprintf object? It works fine without them. ?

would be enough because conformpath creates the third slash.

In screenshot I posted I simply typed too many of them, did not notice it.

is minimum needed - 3 forward slashes.
if one types more, they get ignored.
sprintf symout file://%s

but they do no harm.
