i have a user who has a folder action script setup to look for new files.

it seems that the folder action does not kick in if a file is deleted, and replaced by a new file with the same name thru non- finder methods (a java app is writing to the watched directory)

can anyone confirm or provide further advice?


Interestingly, I've been experiencing something similar.

I have a situation where files are being uploaded to a server folder using curl, and the folder has a folder action script attached. The script sometimes doesn't pick up on a file that's uploaded and I can't quite debug under what circumstances files are being missed, but I've wondered if it has something to do with curl using a temporary file name and then renaming the file once upload is complete?
