Are folder action scripts limited to only ".scpt" scripts?
I have a droplet that I wanted to convert to a folder action., The
droplet is an application (".app") because it includes a bundled Perl
script. Although Attach Script To Folder permits me to select the
script app and attach it, it does not execute. I also tried using it
as a script bundle ("scptd") and though it too can be added, it does
not execute.
In fact, I took an example script by Apple that displays a dialog
when items are added, tested it as a script (it worked) then deleted
the script version from that folder's actions and added it as a
script application (.app) and later as a script bundle (.scptd).
Only the ".scpt" version functioned.
If this is indeed a limitation of Folder Actions, is there a way
around it, perhaps by having a ".scpt" call my application bundle?
Or is there an easier fix?
