I have a simple folder actions script that works fine for duplicating items to a second folder when new items are added to the original folder. However, items being deposited into the original folder can be new and some are just updates to existing items. The script as written does not react to updates causing the second folder to be "out of date", which I'm sure is due to the "adding" folder items statement. Essentially I want to synchronize the second folder to the first with AppleScript.

What do I need to add/modify to accomplish this? I've tried various iterations with no luck. I need the second folder to contain duplicates to stand on their own and not be aliases.




isnt your main problem that you havent decided how quick / often the syncro should take place ?

I mean; the solution is / can be different whether you want to syncro in real time or just want a back up at teh end of each work day ?
