First things first: Have you complied with the instructions in the
language guide?
1. Create a script with Script Editor or another script application.
2. In that script, write a handler that conforms to the syntax
documented here for the “adding
folder items to” (page 226) folder action. Your handler can use the
aliases that are passed to
it to access the image files dropped on the folder.
3. Save the script as a compiled script or script bundle.
4. Put a copy of the script in /Library/Scripts/Folder Action
Scripts or
~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts.
5. Use the Folder Actions Setup application, located in /
Applications/AppleScript, to:
a. Enable folder actions for your image folder.
b. Add a script to that folder, choosing the script you created.
