Previously, I have attached a folder action script to the hidden
folder /Volumes/ that runs a script along the lines of
tell application "Finder"
if exists (disk "My_iPod_Name") then
--do the iTunes stuff
end if
end tell
[snip]
The problem with this method is that the script is run whenever a
disk is mounted and the /Volumes folder is changed, which means that
if a CD is mounted while your iPod is connected then your podcasts
will be refreshed again even if the script has already done it once.
Use the folder action's ability to get information about the added
item...
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder" to set theName to name of item 1 of
added_items
if theName is "My_iPod_Name" then
--do the iTunes stuff
end if
end adding folder items to
