Is there a folder action script [standard on os x] that will launch a
file upon a Volume mount ?
When a zip disk (or similar) was mounted, back
in the days of OS 9, any folder windows
associated with the disk would automatically
open if they had been open when the disk was
last ejected. Is this behaviour entirely absent
in OS X?
(It used to be a useful way to make quick
backups - I would attach an 'on open' folder
action to a folder that opened when the disk
mounted; the attached script would back up files
from a specified source, then eject the disk.
Just one of the little things I still miss...)
Yes. I've done the same thing with zip disks to
do quickie backups on a client site every hour or
so. It was handy.
