Open current bash location explicitly in Finder

Question

When double clicking a bundle folder (folder called *.bundle), a Terminal window opens as expected. However,

$ open .

does not then open a Finder window but another Terminal.

Is there a way to tell the open command to explicitly use the Finder as app?

Theoretically, there is a option to do this: "$ open . -a [application]". That doesn't work with simply typing "Finder"/"finder", though. — , Aug 12 '13 at 17:55
Should be possible with AppleScript's `tell application "Finder" to open folder …`, but I'm not sure on the details – not on a Mac right now. — slhck, Aug 12 '13 at 18:40

You can use open -R to reveal the bundle directory in Finder:

open -R .

It selects the bundle directory but doesn't show the package contents. This shows the package contents in list view and icon view but not in column view:

osascript -e 'tell application "Finder"' -e reopen -e 'set target of Finder window 1 to POSIX file (system attribute "PWD")' -e activate -e end

Cool, have just set up my 37signals/sub to do that for me – Aug 31 '13 at 19:54
