I would like to use Folder Action Scripts (in 10.3.9) to run a script
whenever a file *appears* in a particular folder. The files are being
created in this location by a Classic app, and are not being moved in
the Finder.
Apparently, the construct:
on adding folder items to ...
<do some stuff>
end adding folder items to
works when files are *moved* by the Finder into the folder, but isn't
operative when the files are *created* there.
Is there an existing mechanism for doing what I describe? Suggestions
for an alternative if no such mechanism exists? And, is there
comprehensive doc listing available folder actions?
Thanks.
