An AppleScript module is available that enables obtaining the insert or select location in Finder smarter than default Finder functionality. The module is easy to use and integrates well with existing scripts.
InsertionLocator is an innovative AppleScript module designed to provide a more intelligent way of obtaining insertion/selected location in Finder than the conventional Finder. Unlike the standard behavior of Finder's insertion location property that always refers to the top level folder of the Finder window, InsertionLocator provides a more flexible approach that matches different use cases.
For instance, in a list view window where a subfolder is expanded, that subfolder cannot serve as the insertion location. To address this challenge, InsertionLocator offers an array of capabilities including the ability to identify the container of a selected file as the insertion location, making the selected folder the insertion location or selecting an expanded subfolder in a list view window as the insertion location.
With customizable behavior, InsertionLocator allows you to tailor the application to match your specific needs. To use InsertionLocator, it is essential to meet one primary requirement - to show the help book. Overall, InsertionLocator is a must-have AppleScript module for any user looking for a smarter way to obtain insertion/selected location in Finder.
