Open File in Specific Folder with Specific Extension

Questions & Suggestions
1

this may be a simple question for some but I can't figure this one out.

  1. How do I tell KM to open a file with a specific extension in a specific folder?
  2. Is it possible to have KM search for a specific folder and open a file that contains a specific name variable?

I am trying to figure out how to open a file with ".md" extension in a specific folder in Marked App.

Am I on the right track?

Yes, you are definitely on the right track. What you show should work on any files in the ~/Desktop/test folder as well as any files selected in the Finder. If any of those have the md extension, they will be opened.

What do you mean by that?

If a variable contained "md", then you could use that variable (eg, %Variable%DesiredExtension%) in the is condition in the If Then Else action.
