Title: Re: Folder Action to create Archive
Thanks Eric for the help but still no love...
I found this script which is supposed to work, but does not in my case. I don’t know why. It compiles and it creates the “Done” Folder, but I don’t get any zipped files
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Todd
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists folder "Done" of this_folder) then
make new folder at this_folder with properties ¬
{name:"Done"}
end if
set the destination_folder to folder "Done" of ¬
this_folder as alias
set the destination_directory to POSIX path of ¬
the destination_folder
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in these_items
set this_item to item i of these_items
set the item_info to info for this_item
if this_item is not the destination_folder and the ¬
name extension of the item_info is not in ¬
{"zip", "sit"} then
set the item_path to the quoted form of the ¬
POSIX path of this_item
set the destination_path to the quoted form of ¬
(destination_directory & (name of the ¬
item_info) & ".zip")
do shell script ¬
("/usr/bin/ditto -c -k -rsrc --keepParent " & ¬
item_path & " " & destination_path)
end if
end repeat
end adding folder items to
