Thanks very much...
If I follow this thread properly then I think you have selected the bazooka
(PhotoShop) when reaching for the fly swatter.
If you want to do a slide show try a slide show app or one that has this
function incorporated in it.
Graphic converter does this sweetly. Set your prefs in the app once, then...
tell application "GraphicConverter"
activate
slideshow alias "macintosh HD:Documents:Graphics:slideshowfiles:"
end tell
As for the hot folder (?) action I would suggest using folder actions to
trigger the display of all the files ( or just the new ones) in a folder
when a new file is added.
