Hi All,
I want to automate some simple finder actions and am having trouble.
All I want to do is write a script that will, upon adding a file to a
folder, make an alias to the file in the same folder, them move the
original to another folder. I need a simple way to keep pdf's all in
one place, while having sub-folders with aliases to pdf's on different
subject matters. I want to add the script to several different folders.
the script I am working with is:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
tell application "Finder"
make new alias to these_items
move these_items to folder "Macintosh
HD:Users:ecolabg4:Documents:journal articles:raw refs:"
end tell
end adding folder items to
But, it make the alias on the desktop (I have yet to get it to make it
in this_folder), and the move does not work.
Can anyone help??
Sorry for the newbie question.
Thanks, Dan
