Jean-Baptiste;
That's an excellent idea to put in a little run routine like that, to
allow easier testing.
I did eventually get it to work. It allows you to attach a script
from any folder ... but it only works if it's in the
Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts!

Maybe your script has a bug and IMO FA are a pain to debug. What I
do is the following :
on adding folder items to theFolder after receiving thoseFiles
-- do your stuff here
end adding folder items to
on run
set theFile to choose file
set theFolder to choose folder
adding folder items to theFolder after receiving {theFile}
end run
Just run the script in your favorite editor (fill the blank)
and tadaaaa, you can test your FA without having to attaching it to
a folder.

Is there a trick to getting Folder Actions to work?
I followed the following steps:
Select folder icon in folder's container.
Ctrl-click and select "Configure Folder Actions..."
Check "Enable Folder Actions"
Make sure correct folder is listed and "On" box is checked in the
left hand portion of the "Folder Actions Setup" window.
Exit this application.
With same folder selected ctrl-click and select the appropriate
compiled script with "Attach a Folder Action..."
I verified that this script is recorded under "Configure Folder Actions".
But, nothing happens when I drag a file to this folder. What am I
doing wrong?
