LOL!
No worries and thanks for trying.
I'm going to have to raise the white flag on trying to get the mac to cooperate. I just don't know what it wants and if there are any os specific issues on using subprocess. I can get it to work using both the original way I wrote it and using arguments (which is probably the correct way) in Windows.
I can't seem to figure out how to get Browse with Explorer to work by using arguments. Searches and code snippets are saying to use
subprocess.Popen('explorer '+path)
which is doing it without arguments. I can't even fathom how to get finder to work if it isn't going to do it similarly. I really hate to give up but it's obvious that things are working differently between the os'es even though this is more or less a universal platform. We saw that happen a LOT with Tkinter, which still doesn't work properly between Windows and Mac across various versions of python.
Still, this is and will always be a freebie so if a mac python wizard wants to help make it work across both OSes, you have my blessing! :)
Until I can figure out what's going on, I can hide the menu entries for mac users so that there isn't any confusion or expectation.
