Fair enough, but I have to say from my sample of 1, I’ve found using the lua script both faster and totally reliable.

It kicks in almost the moment a change is made, whereas Folder Actions often takes several seconds or more. It might be that the unreliability you referred to was in whatever was causing that delay (presumably some apple events being routed through the AEM from FSEventStream) rather than with FSEvents itself?

Dunno about that, but I do know the lua code is simpler to set up, easier to manage, and works well here (10.11.6), and as I said earlier, the lua + Hammerspoon stuff offers a lot of other automation possibilities that are either difficult or impossible with vanilla AS.


Best


Phil
