I have something that serves a similar purpose - a shell script that calls out to AppleScript to get the path of the most recently used Finder window and returns it as a string: #!/usr/bin/env bash #################### # Description: Get the path of the most recently used Finder window # Author: Ancapistani # Version: 1.0.0 #################### osascript -e 'tell application "Finder"'\ -e "if (${1-1} <= (count Finder windows)) then"\ -e "get POSIX path of (target of window ${1-1} as alias)"\ -e 'else' \ -e 'get POSIX path of (desktop as alias)'\ -e 'end if' \ -e 'end tell'; I have this saved as `fpwd` in my shell.
