Chris-
Yes, I do want something to constantly watch for mounted volumes.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
I have a situation where several photographers will need to transfer
their photos from CF card to computer @ regular intervals.
The idea is to have a central workstation where these photogs can pop
in their CF card and have the system automatically detect that the card
has been mounted, copy the images to a specific location.
The "copy to" location would be set by date- the script would look for
a folder on the desktop that reflects the current date (for instance,
"11082003". If the folder is not found, the script would create it. If
found, the images would be copied to that folder. This works out well
because it allows me to easily sort photos by date through the folders
and by time within the folders. I have the portion of the script that
creates the folder completed.
It looks as if I could even have the disk eject automatically once the
copying is complete. This would be great- the goal is to automate the
entire process and keep this completely "hands off" regarding the
photogs.
Jay's script worked in the sense that it picks up a newly mounted
volume-showing me that this could possibly work (thanks Jay).
This is probably a little too ambitious for a first script but I seem
to be learning a lot about applescript rather quickly with this
project.
Thanks for the help,

New to the list and pretty new to AppleScript-
I want a script to be able to detect when a removable disk is
mounted- CD, Compact Flash, Zip, etc. Is this possible with using
AppleEvents or otherwise?

Hello Christopher,
You need to provide more detailed information on what you're trying to
accomplish.
For instance: Do you want to have something constantly watching in
the background to detect mounted volumes?
Chris
