I’m trying to make an custom extension for my company. I want to open folders or files from our server (X:) with a simple pushbutton in the extension. In the attachment you can find my script. When I run it, my explorer opens until the first folder of the server filepath: "X:", not deeper into the folder. Am I doing something wrong? I hope somebody could help me
(I don’t know if it is relevant but we use Parallels to run Windows on our Mac. So Mac shares all the folders with Windows. I’m not in favor of it, but I have to live with it )
Welcome.
First things first, this is something you would catch up with easily with a modern code editor: vscode, pycharm, …
It probably has to do with the \ being read as an escape character in python.
One way to solve it is to add a second backslash:
supprocess.Popen(["start X:\\you first folder name\\the second one\\ and so on"], shell=True)
# I typed it directly in discourse with no check whatsoever :)
