I want to create a droplet which will move a file to the system's Sound folder so that it can be used by Eudora. When I attempt to do this in the Finder, I get a dialog that says the folder can't be modified.

Can this be done with AppleScript and Terminal, or some other combination that can be wrapped up in a droplet? If so, complete code would be greatly appreciated.

You should save your sounds in your own Library/Sounds/ folder and not in the system's library. This droplet works and would probably work with the system library.


I did try to use my own Sounds folder but Eudora wouldn't detect the sound's presence there. The system's Sounds folder is mine too so I guess it isn't a big deal. ;-)

Thanks for the code. I'll give it a try the next time I convert some of my OS 9 sounds to aiff for OS X.

Welcome back JD!! :-)
