Open Specific Folder in Specified Application

[JMichaelTX]

@DrSabs

I can't figure out how to get KM to open the specific folder path WITHIN Logic Pro X, and then even select the specific new file that was added in the path.

Can you manually select the file, right-click, and then open in Logic Pro X? If so, then this simple macro should work.

Before You Run, Make these changes

1. Trigger -- change path to folder you want to watch
2. Open In -- Change app to Logic Pro X

If that does not work, then you can use these Actions to open the file:

*  [Activate a Specific Application action](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/action/Activate_a_Specific_Application)
* [Select or Show a Menu Item action](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/action/Select_or_Show_a_Menu_Item)
* [Type a Keystroke action](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/action/Type_a_Keystroke) to send ⌘⇧G to Open File Dialog
* [Insert Text by Pasting action](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/action/Insert_Text_by_Pasting) the `%Local__NewFilePath%` variable
* Type a Keystroke action to send RETURN

Those are the basics.  You may need to tweak by adding a pause or pause until after some Actions.
