MFOpen folder helper

Makes the folder buttons on doc.motionforce.tv open the folder on your own computer, in Finder or File Explorer. Paths written on the studio PC are mapped to this computer's own OneDrive.

v1.1 · 2026-10-06
Install on Mac
Unzip, drag MFOpen.app into Applications, then right-click it and choose Open (only the first time, since it is not from the App Store).
Install on Windows
Unzip and double-click install.cmd. No admin rights needed. To remove it later, run uninstall.cmd from the folder below.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\MFOpen\
First use
Click a folder button in a doc. The browser asks whether to open MFOpen: tick Always allow and confirm. The path is copied to the clipboard as well, so it is still useful on a computer without the helper.
Path mapping
Studio paths map to this computer's personal or Motion Force OneDrive. If a folder has not synced here, its nearest parent folder opens. Extra mappings go in a .mfopen.json file in your home folder.
E:\OneDrive\...  →  personal OneDrive
C:\Cloud Drive\OneDrive - Motion Force\...  →  Motion Force OneDrive
Safety
MFOpen only opens folders. A link to a file selects it in its folder and never runs it, and network paths are refused.
