Open all files in folder using Javascript

Let's say I want to open all the files in a particular folder, without knowing the names of those files.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

ok I solved it
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog( "Please select top level folder to process");
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles();
for(i=0;i<fileList.length;i++) var docRef = app.open(fileRef);

Open all files in folder?

i have this working to open a single file in the app "VoltaicHD";
set theFolder to "PATH:TO:FILES:"
tell application "Voltaic"
open theFolder & "00000.MTS"
end tell
my question is, how do i tell it to open everything in the folder and not have to specify every filename? would that be done in a loop? a list?
thanks,
BabaG

That should be simple (depending on the level of Voltaic's AppleScript support). This should work:
set theFolder to "PATH:TO:FILES:"
tell application "Voltaic"
open (every file of folder theFolder)
end tell
The only reason is might not work is if Voltaic can't deal with scanning theFolder for the files within it, in which case just have the Finder do it - as long as .MTS file are associated with Voltaic, they'll open just fine.

Preview opening all files in folder

When browsing to open a file in Preview through File>Open File... dialogs, Preview is opening all of the files within a folder (rather than opening the folder's directory) after a double-click on the folder.
Am I missing something?

Double-click on folders in open dialogue does not open the entire folder contents in most applications! (I just tested a couple standard programs to confirm: Safari, TextEdit.) It is an annoying and unnecessary attribute which seems only applicable in Preview.
The feature of Preview where double-clicking a folder in the open dialogue causes Preview to open the entire folder contents is the bane of my existence as a Mac OS user. (And I do use other operating system, my Mac triple boots.) This behavior is not only inconsistent (and generally confirms that Mac OS X is perpetually confused about what type of mouse actions cause what actions in different areas), but a horrible catastrophe when, at least once a day, I inadvertently double-click a folder (in this manner) containing many files Preview associates with itself, where the only easy solution is to Force Quit. Don't believe me? When Preview starts trying to open 200 post-script files, which it must first convert to pdf, and the Cancel button does not respond, what should you do? Even if you wait for it to open all the files, in the case where conversion to pdf is involved, each window I close asks me if I wish to save!
All the complaints aside, is there a way I can disable this gregariously foolish and mis-sighted feature? If there is not a way to disable this feature at present, I'll just hope that a developer is reading this, since this is my only recourse in closed-source software, except to find new software.
And while I'm at it, may I request that Preview have the added feature to directly view post-scripts?

Open all files in folder as path array

Hello, I am trying to open a folder of jpeg images and save the path as an array so that I can manually display them and step through them. What is the easiest way to open a folder of images and save the images as a path array?

The VI down loaded and worked for me.
I suspect something on your end corrupted it! Virus ware?
Not a Resource File
There is nothing much more than a "List Folder" a "For Loop" and "Build Path"

Open all files in 'Open Recent' menu

Is there a way to open all files at once that appear in the 'Open Recent' menu in Preview? If I have 15 PDFs listed, would it be possible to open them all at once (perhaps through Automator?).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Can you identify the disc where your Scratch files go to.
If you have not designated a specific disc it will be in the default location.
You need to remove any files associated with the Project in question from the Scratch Disc location.
Specific info here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12015274#12015274
If you wish to remove the Recent List trash the FCE Preference files.

Contribute tries to open all file types

Contribute 3 tries to open all file types, in addition to the
designated application. You click on "file.doc" and contribute AND
word try to open the file. You have to cancel the open process for
contribute at least three times to make it go away. Then the file
open as usual in word. I have checked the preferences and removed
all "MS Office" file types from the dialog. I have checked the
folder options and verified that Contribute is NOT the assigned
application in Windows to open the file.
Help this is very annoying!

Is there a way to respond to Doc/Open events from a folder level javascript?

I'm wondering if there's a way to respond to Doc/Open events from a folder level javascript. If not, is there a way to programatically add a Document javascript to a PDF upon/after export from InDesign?
Thanks-
Jeremy

Bernd,
Thanks for your reply. I take what you write to mean that I can add a document-level javascript manually once the PDF is exported. But this is what I'm trying to avoid.
Ideally, I want to respond to Doc/Open events from a folder level javascript, but I'm not sure if/how I can make an event listener with Acrobat JS. If I can't do that, then I'm looking for a way to programatically add a Document level javascript upon export from InDesign - not manually within Acrobat, once the PDF is created.
Any thoughts?

Library opens all files in it after I click on it

Hi Everybody
When I double click on my library it opens all files in it. I have another library, which after I click opens only a dialog box to chose the file to open.
Now, how do I determine how the library should behave, either it should open all vis at the opening either it will pop up with dialog box.
Thanks in advance
Pawel

Each vi that configured as main in llb will open after double-clicking on llb. For editing of vi's configuration in llb select Tools/Edit Vi Library, select llb file, and select which files will be main.
