In the end I realized that what I needed to do was find the most recently modified folder on my Desktop that contained a Logic X project file.
In any event, I now needed to write the script, which means I needed to figure out the specific rules that would define the right destination folder. So I asked Jon, is there any way to programmatically define where Default Folder opens? His response was to send me a development build of Default Folder that would allow the default location to be overridden with an AppleScript, a “hidden” feature now available in version 5.3.7 of Default Folder X. When I’m recording ads and other audio for podcasts, I invariably end up saving it all in the Audio Files folder in the project folder for my current Logic project, which is invariably sitting on the Desktop. I realized that in at least one app I use, there’s a very common location I want to save all my files-but the location is not persistent. It’s a utility that lets you set a different default location for the Open/Save dialogs in every app you use, and provides some other clever features like clicking on an open Finder window to change the Open/Save dialog to that window’s location.įor the first time in years, a few weeks ago I had a feature request for Jon Gotow, the developer of Default Folder. Clair Software’s Default Folder since the days of System 7.
