I'm attempting to put a file count into the comments of a folder. The
script will run when any new items are added to the folder, so I want
to make this a folder action. The script runs, but only counts to 6,
despite there being more than 500 files in my test folder. Script
follows:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
set the_folder to the name of this_folder -- I got nothing using
this_folder
count files in the_folder -- only counts to 6, although there are
500+ files in test folder.
set file_count to result
display dialog file_count -- displays 6
if comment of the_folder contains "/" then -- some folders have a
date as part of their comments. Don't want to lose that.
set comment of the_folder to comment + " " + file_count
else
set comment of the_folder to file_count
end if
end tell
beep 2
end adding folder items to
Any ideas would be welcome.
There are only 10 type of people in the world, those that understand
binary, and those that don't.
