I received an email from Apple regarding a Folder Action complaint, it seems
they are hammering out the bugs for 10.4. If anyone has specific issues pass
it along and I'll include it in my reply.
At the beginning of this year, Mark Butler encountered problems while
renaming items within a folder having folder action(s) attached. [1]
It appeared that renaming an item triggers two consecutive events, i.e.
"removing folder items" and "adding folder items".
As a result, it proved extremely hard to simultaneously handle item
renamings as well as true add/removes within a single folder.
The conclusion was thus that it would be handy to have a distinguished
event for item renamings, with its companion "on renaming folder
items..." handler.
So that each basic (basic from a user's point of view) action upon
folder items -opening, moving, closing, adding, removing, AND renaming-
would have its corresponding event.
