Hello Robert,
Well, it was very similar to the one Ron already has posted:
on adding folder items to TargetFolder after receiving AddedItems
tell application "Finder"
set label index of TargetFolder to 3
end tell
end adding folder items to
on removing folder items from TargetFolder after losing RemovedItems
tell application "Finder"
if items of TargetFolder is {} then
set label index of TargetFolder to 0
else
set label index of TargetFolder to 3
end if
end tell
end removing folder items from
Notwithstanding the value of the label index (I thought 0 should mean "empty folder"), I took the opportunity provided by the "removing folder" event to somehow ensure that the folder's color really reflects its contents (empty or not).
I'm not sure, but it could well be that events handled thru folder actions may sometimes collapse for efficiency purposes, so that one may miss the global effect of a sequence of events.
More generally, for your purpose, it could well be that some kind of periodic task could be better suited.
HTH,
Axel
