while writing a document in Pages09 I'd like to save it from time to time via File->Save (or command-s) and have it saved also as rich text format by an automatically triggered AS.
With the following AS script (working draft)
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
try
tell application "Finder"
set the folder_name to the name of this_folder
end tell
get info for item 1 of added_items
set nomefile to name of result
if nomefile ends with ".pages" then
set nomefile to text 1 thru -6 of the nomefile
set nomefile to nomefile & "rtf"
tell application "Pages"
save front document as ¬
"SLDocumentTypeRichText" in "Macintosh HD:Users:victor:Desktop:Folder:" & nomefile
end tell
end if
end try
end adding folder items to
Unfortunately it works only once that is when I save a document with a new file name for the first time in that folder . If I goes on writing and saving the same file nothing happens, apparently because non new items have been added to the folder.
How can I make AS folder action sensitive also the variation of size of the file in the folder (or better, when I save during an editing session, also the folder changes its size).
Ciao
