definition of the events
adding folder items to: Called after new items have been added to a folder,
but only when the folder's window is open adding folder items to alias -- Folder receiving the new items after receiving list of alias -- a list of the tems the folder
received
you must start your script with something like:
on adding folder items to startup disk after receiving those_item --those item is the list of file end adding folder items to
