The precise functionality you describe isn't included in the built in actions, but you can add it yourself quite easily.
Open AppleScript Editor (or Script Editor on older systems), paste in the following script code, and then save the file as ~/Library/ Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/Go to in Finder.scpt (where ~ is your home folder). Restart QS, select a folder in the first pane, and choose this action in the second pane. If you choose a file instead of a folder, it will reveal the file. If you use the comma trick to select multiple items, it will show each one in a new window. Here is the code: on open input repeat with i from 1 to (count input) set thisitem to item i of input tell application "Finder" activate if thisitem's kind is "Folder" and (count input) is 1 then try set folder of front window to thisitem on error open thisitem end try else if thisitem's kind is "Folder" then open thisitem else reveal thisitem end if end tell end repeat end open On Oct 21, 3:53 pm, ericsoco <[email protected]> wrote: > apologies for what i imagine is a noob question, but i wasn't getting > any love from the manual or poking around the interface. > > i've managed to set up triggers to open specific folders in a *new* > finder window, but i'd like to open a specific folder in already-open > finder window. this is more in line with OSX's keyboard interface > (e.g. command+N for new finder window, command+shift+A to navigate to > Applications). > > any hints? > thank you, > -eric
