(* what is being done here | |
Check if Finder windows exist. | |
If two windows exist, then set them to be in bound1 and bound2. | |
If more than one window exists, then merge them all. Copy the active tab. Close the active tab. Set bounds to bound1. | |
Then open a new window with active tab path. Set bounds to bound2. |
