Open Folder After Export
Took me quite a while, but I’ve made a little script that you can use to show the exported file in the finder automatically after the mixdown is done.
I know we have a button for that, but hey, any click saved is a click saved, right? Besided, I tried this before and it annoyed me that I couldn’t get it to work. The quotation marks around the $PATH argument were the problem AND the -R argument for the open command as well.
DISCLAIMER: do this if you enjoy tinkering and optimizing your workflow, it’s a low risk thing, but don’t blame me if you mess something up.
=============
Here are the steps (close Cubase or Nuendo first):
-
Open TextEdit
-
In the menu set it to “plain text” (format → make plain text)
-
Paste the following script at the bottom of this post in there
(you can add the name of an icon file between the icon tags if you want, any 32x32 png should do, see my screenshot for an example) -
Save it to your desktop, name it “OpenInFinder.aepp” for example. The extension is important, don’t name it .txt
-
In the finder, navigate to the root of your harddrive and then to
“/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Audio Export Post Process Scripts”
(not the library in your user folder) -
Drag the .aepp file from the desktop to this folder and use your password if prompted.
