Last week I asked for help with a script to copy files from one folder
to another. Thanks to Andrew Oliver and Gnarlodious for the help that
got it working, and in a much simplified fashion. I connected it to the
folder as a folder action, and it worked for about a day. I detached
and re-attached it, and it lasted for about a day again, then quit
working. I came back to work after two days off - they manually copied
the files Sunday and Monday - and did the detach-reattach thing again,
and it lasted for about 2 hours before it quit.
I thought a folder action, once set, would work as long as the folder
is open. I don't see what I'm doing wrong.
In case it helps, here is the script I finally came up with:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
set old_delimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
tell application "Finder"
duplicate added_items to folder "Online:PDF'S:In"
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_delimiters
end adding folder items to
Thank you,
