Mac: Open a new finder window from current location

tried to copy/move folder to sub folder and find it hard to do in mac? here’s the workaround

tell application “Finder”
get the exists of the front Finder window
if the (exists of the front Finder window) is true then
try
set newWindow to target of front window
set oldView to current view of front window
make new Finder window to newWindow
set current view of front window to oldView
end try
else
try
make new Finder window to alias “:”
set the current view of the front Finder window to column view
end try
end if
end tell
Copy above script and paste it to the new project window opened via the “Script Editor.app” (Applications/AppleScript/), then choose “application” as the “File Format” and then save/compile the project with a meaningful name such as “CloneFinder”. Once that is done, drag ‘n drop the newly compiled CloneFinder.app on to the Finder tool-bar for quick access.
