Applescript - Folder Actions Setup

trying to make a folder action to move anything dropped in a folder to shared folder on another device.  code as follows:
set destFolder to (":" & (path to desktop as string) & "Workflows:Sheetfed:")
display dialog destFolder
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
          try
                    tell application "Finder"
  move added_items to destFolder
                    end tell
          end try
end adding folder items to
Nothing happens.
Note:  I added the display to see the path when I was hand running.
Do I need to use posix path for this, or maybe use command line??  Not sure what's best - easiest - most reliable
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I have this:
set destFolder to (":dx1070:Workflows:Sheetfed:")
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
          try
                    tell application "Finder"
  move added_items to folder destFolder
                    end tell
          end try
end adding folder items to
But still not doing it yet.
Took off the leading colon on destFolder ie ":dx1070:Workflows:Sheetfed:", still no.
Any more help would be great!

  • Problem moving files using applescript/folder action setup.

    I'm wanting files to move to certain folders depending on what the first letter of the file name. Here is what I have so far. If the file starts with TF715SH it should move to Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:T
    property dialog_timeout : 30 -- set the amount of time before dialogs auto-answer.
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
        try
            tell application "Finder"
                repeat with this_item in added_items
                    if this_item starts with "M" then
                        move this_item to "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:M:" with replacing
                    end if
                    if this_item starts with "N" then
                        move this_item to "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:N:" with replacing
                    end if
                    if this_item starts with "T" then
                        move this_item to "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:T:" with replacing
                    end if
                end repeat
            end tell
        end try
    end adding folder items to

    Hi,
    Because the class of this_item is a alias wich contains the full path of the file :
    You need to get the file name, also you must use the term "folder" before the string "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:M:", otherwise the Finder will return an error.
    if (name of this_item) starts with "M" then
          move this_item to folder "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:M:" with replacing
    end if
    Here's another way to do this :
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
          tell application "Finder"
                set colorImgFolder to folder "Serenity:Color Images for Monthly:"
                repeat with this_item in added_items
                      set c to first character of (get name of this_item)
                      considering case -- case sensitive
                            if c is in "MNT" then move this_item to folder c of colorImgFolder with replacing
                      end considering
                end repeat
          end tell
    end adding folder items to

  • AppleScript: how to reinstall "Folder Actions Setup"

    MacBook Air with Yosemite 10.10.3
    Although I can successfully use Script Editor and get AppleScripts to run, the /Applications/AppleScript folder is missing:
    Erins-MacBook-Air:~ Peter$ ls -l /Applications/App*
    /Applications/App Store.app:

    Erins-MacBook-Air:~ Peter$
    I need to run the "Folder Actions Setup" app which is normally in the AppleScript folder.  I have reason to believe it was deleted in an attempt to recover disk space.
    In the app store, I tried to "upgrade" to Yosemite, and I got a message that since I already have Yosemite, I could simply use the "update" feature, but the entire upgrade installer is available if I really wanted to download it. I did that, and I ran through the entire process, which did some things, including changing my desktop image back to the default.  However, I still aint got no AppleScript folder.
    What next?

    Thanks.
    It would be nice if this weren't obsolete:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/App leScriptLangGuide/reference/ASLR_folder_…
    I'm still learning my way around Folder Actions, but it seems that the GUI "setup" item is pretty minimal.
    If I successfully write a handler script for "on adding items to a folder...", and put it in the right place, apparently I can get everything working by ctrl-clicking the target folder in the Finder, and using the Services context menu to associate the target folder with the script I'm writing.
    This will be a bit obtuse for some people.  Perhaps Hazel fills this need better. 
    But thanks for the info!

  • Folder action to package and create pdf Applescript folder action

    Hi
    Does anyone have an Applescript Folder Action to package Indesign CS5.5 files and make pdfs.
    Thanks, in advance.

    Hi Babs
    I ended up paying someone to create the script. They did a fantastic job creating a droplet that has options to package, create PDFs to presets, print to presets, create an IDML file, retrosave this to CS4 and create a thumbnail. Sounds like a lot but that is what I ended up needing for one client and I can use it on anything.

  • Folder Actions Setup- connection failed

    Every time I open Folder Actions Setup I get an error message saying "Connection Failed- Server may no longer exist..." and "Automatically Add to iTunes" is in red. I click ok and it keeps popping up. I've removed that server from my favorites since it no longer exists. It was a MBWE Blue Rings that I had connected to my AEBS. It had my iTunes library on it , but has since been transferred to an external drive connected directly to my MP.
    How do I make it stop? I can't assign any Folder Actions to any folders until this stops!

  • Quicktime export using applescript/folder actions

    I have about 500Gig of encoded H264 footage.
    I want to be able to "bulk" change video properties on all of the video so that when I view it in front row it isn't letter boxed.
    I can do this manually, save as a .MOV and all is fine.
    anyone tried something like this as an applescript?
    I have scripted eyetv quite a bit so I`m quite familiar with applescript, just being lazy I suppose!
    any help greatly received !
    * looking in the quicktime applescript library *
    Steve

    The nature of your question implies that you're unfamiliar with Folder Actions...
    I'd like to skip them or write the AppleScript in a way that handles this.
    By their very nature, Folder Actions are passed a list of newly-added files. Your Folder Action script should look something like:
    on adding folder items to my_folder after receiving the_files
      -- your code goes here
    end adding folder items to
    where, in this case, the_files is a list of the newly-added files. It won't include pre-existing files, so all you need to do is iterate through the_files and you're set. Something like:
    on adding folder items to my_folder after receiving the_files
              tell application "iPhoto"
                        repeat with each_photo in the_files
                                  try
                                            import each_photo to album "Europe 2012"
                                  end try
                        end repeat
              end tell
    end adding folder items to
    The only caveat here that I can think of is the fact it's a DropBox folder, so there might be some odd latency in the files appearing in the directory, but I don't use Dropbox to know.
    Note that in the above I import each photo independently, via a repeat loop. This might not be necessary, and you might be able to pass the entire the_files variable to the import command to have all the images imported in one go - I haven't tried that, though.

  • AppleScript Folder Actions

    I'm new to this group, and my question may have been answered a long time ago as I'm using OS 10.5.8. I've been teaching myself AppleScript, and have been using "AppleScript - The Missing Manual" by Adam Goldstein and "AppleScript 1-2-3" by Sal Soghoian and Bill Cheeseman. All has gone well until now. I'm working on a couple of folder actions and have hit a wall. I've successfully written "on opening..." and "on closing..." actions. However, I have been 100% UNsuccessful at writing "on adding folder items to..." scripts. Action scripts are saved in the proper location, are attached properly, and folder actions are enabled. I turned a primary "on adding..." script (one I started out to do) into a droplet, and it functions perfectly when files are dropped on it. Help in explaining to me "the error of my ways" would be appreciated.

    If there is an error in a folder action script, it tends to fail silently - for example, your *opening folder* script will fail because you are not coercing theCount (a number) to text (display dialog doesn't like lists, which is what you are getting by concatenating a string to a number).
    Since you have a droplet that works correctly, you can just add a folder action handler to that script. I use a folder action template that includes handlers so that it can be run and tested from the *Script Editor* (it can also be used as a droplet). In the following example, the doStuff handler is what does the stuff, and the other handlers (including the folder action) just pass items to it.

  • Folder Actions Setup/Configuration in OS 10.6.4

    Hi
    I have some "fancy" stacks icons that i use for my dock that makes it look like my documents are in a little box. I downloaded the icons and a script that ensures that the icon for the "box" is at the top so the stack has the correct appearance in my dock. I did this (I think) by right clicking the folder, selecting "more" and choosing "enable folder actions" from the sub-menu.
    Now, when I right click on a newly created folder that I put the box icon in, the "More" option isn't available if I right click on the folder. I tried searching for a solution online, and tried selecting "Services" in the finder after clicking the folder once to no avail. So I am not sure how to set or enable a folder action now.
    Does anyone have a suggestion/workaround or know what the problem is?
    Thanks!!
    Lee

    So I went to the "Services" section of the "System Preferences" by clicking "System Preferences" then "Keyboard" then the "Keyboard Shortcuts" on the right which gives all of the services, which it looks like I can enable or disable by checking the box. But when I click "Services" the menu is blank. Can someone help me or tell me how to add a script to this submenu? It looks I need to use the "Automator" program but I've played with the program and don't quite get it.
    Thanks!!

  • Folder Actions script no longer runs on new file creation

    Hope this isn't trivial.......first time posting here...hopefully in the right place.I'm not a total Mac OS X newbie...and surely no techie, either. Dabbled a wee bit with Automator and scratchin' my head on this one. Help, please!
    Any idea why folder actions not running when a new file is saved? A simple add-color-label script created in Automator was workin' fine before I did a Snow Leopard-to-Leopard downgrade clean-install & account migration from external HD (TimeMachine) backup. Folder actions are enabled and script runs only if I start it with Automator Runner. Previously, it would label the file as soon as I saved it....now it needs a manual start. Is this default behavior in Leopard? Or am I missing something or doin' something wrong? Or is this a consequence of downgrade? I was sure I had the same script workin ok in my original Leopard install - though possibly un-modified at that time.
    I have no clue why, but the new version I created recently (cpl wks ago?)worked the first time I added a new file but not thereafter...and in that instance it only labelled the file in Finder upon quitting Preview (file is a Grab saved as pdf).
    The reason for the downgrade was compatibility problems with Photoshop CS4 on SL (OS & app all updated yet crashin' at the drop of a hat) - maybe due to lack of RAM? (only 1GB). Saw quite a few posts regarding SL running CS4 problems, so now I'm back to running 10.5.8 ..again.. and PS actually runs smooth like it did before.
    Maybe these console messages are a help......or am I barkin' up the wrong tree?

    Do I need to wipe the drive again and re-install everything?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Apologies if this seems long-winded.

    Folder Actions are set up a bit differently in Leopard (they use an AppleScript wrapper), and several actions have been updated to use new technologies available in Snow Leopard.  Looking at some of your console logs, it looks like some actions or workflows were just copied over from Snow Leopard.  When changing versions like that, you should rebuild the workflows so that they link to the correct actions, and check added actions for any dependencies (an action won't be loaded if it requires resources that are not available).
    Resaving your Folder Action workflow as a Folder Action Plug-in should do the trick.

  • Folder Actions quit working

    I did an Archive and Install a week ago. Since then, the Folder Action scripts I had set up have ceased working. I can't get them to work any more.
    What's the solution?

    What's the solution?
    What have you tried?
    The most obvious thing is to make sure that Folder Actions are enabled.
    Open /Applications/AppleScript/Folder Actions Setup and make sure that Folder Actions are enabled, and that the folder(s) in question have scripts attached to them.

  • Folder actions no longer works after migration

    The script below was working perfectly on an iMac G4. I use it as a type of print spooler for a DOS application that runs in Dosbox for OS X (also works for OS9 apps). I just send the file to the monitored folder and the script prints the contents and deletes the file from the folder.
    I moved to an iMac G5 and used Setup Assistant to transfer my system (no lectures please...). Configure Folder Actions indicates that the script is enabled for the particular folder. However the Folder Action is no longer triggered when I add files to the monitored folder. I have tried repairing permissions, recompiling the script, deleting the folder and creating a new one...
    Is this a quirk of migration?
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
    delay 20 -- time for job to finish?
    repeat with each_item in added_items
    tell application "Printer Setup Utility" to open each_item
    delay 40 -- time before file is deleted from folder
    tell application "Finder" to delete each_item
    tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
    quit
    end tell
    end repeat
    end adding folder items to

    Michael,
    That script seems to work here.
    You could check whether the script is actually attached by using the Folder Actions Setup utility which is located here:
    ~/Applications/AppleScript
    This utility gives you all the folders and their attached scripts in one window.
    You might also want to check to see whether locating your script in the following location helps:
    ~/Library/Scripts/FolderActions
    as that is where the utility wants them to go when you are attaching a folder action script to a folder.

  • Folder Actions will not work - tried everything

    Recently Folder Actions simply stopped working on 10.6.4. They worked fine before then recently just stopped working.
    I've tried everything I can think of, including:
    1. completely removing enabling & disabling & enabling folder actions through the setup app.
    2. trashing folder actions plist files in user domain and relaunching
    3. disabling related launchd processes with lingon
    4. trashing launch agents in user domain and also trying to unload them in terminal
    5. trying to kill the folder actions dispatcher process in activity monitor (just relaunches, as it should)
    6. emptying system caches including dyld shared cache using cocktail
    7. doing most of the above and restarting
    It's driving me nuts. Any other ideas?

    1. Changed permissions to 755 for the following folder and two contained files (note that 775 didn't work for me)
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
    2. Changed the following lines within ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist (using TextWrangler)
    from:
    <key>OnDemand</key>
    <false/>
    to:
    <key>OnDemand</key>
    <true/>
    Prior to the permissions changes within #1 above, the value of <true/> kept getting changed back to <false/> by something in the system... and though
    there was improvement by the permissions changes, the following console message appeared until false was changed to true.
    com.apple.FolderActions.enabled[4127] launchctl: Error unloading: com.apple.FolderActions.folders
    At this point true is staying true, and not being changed by unknown forces to false, and the above message is not appearing.
    3. The only other thing I did prior to #1 and #2 above, was to run the script (unsaved),
    tell application "/System/Library/CoreServices/Folder Actions Dispatcher.app" to tick
    This little tell line caused something to occur where my Folder Action surprised me and worked for the first time though it took about 30 seconds and was erratic,
    sometimes performing, sometimes not, though if I would do move something into the folder to trigger the action that should occur, and did not occur, then at the point
    running the above tell line or script would cause the action to occur.
    4. At this point I don't fool with the tell line or script from #3, and it seems that systemevents has gotten involved, as well as launchd, and with my simple Folder Action script
    I'm getting the folder action within 10 seconds compared to 30 to 45 if ever seconds.
    5. This is still too early to tell if this is the wonder pill I've needed since Leopard, and now Snow Leopard (and maybe Tiger as well: I forget when I even tried Folder Actions).
    There was a time when I moved things around, so that the items normally found in the former AppleScript folder, were placed elsewhere in subfolders, so I don't know if that lead to this...
    because I could get Folder Actions to work on Macs in the Applestore, but not my own Mac. Watching the console messages was helpful. I don't think it's a big concern that
    deprecated messages are found sometimes. That's a just a normal part of the constantly rebuilding of things that goes on. It's more like a reminder that we've got an upgraded
    OEM part were going to start using, and the older part won't be available after such and such date, so program accordingly, and in the meantime drive.

  • How to set up Automator Folder Actions?

    I have set up and sucessfully tested a workflow which sends any file found in a particular folder to the "paperless" app, then moves all files to a different folder called "Archived attachments".
    HOWEVER as a folder action,  nothing happens when a file is put into the folder. The file just sits there in the folder.
    To create a folder action I opened  "new folder action" in Automator, then dragged and dropped the working workflow file into the workspace, then set "Folder Action recieves files and folders added to" the appropriate folder, let's call it "Attachments".
    Just to complicate things, the files are placed into the "Attachments" folder using an applescript that captures all pdf mail attachments. This applescript works succesfully.
    So, where could I be going wrong?
    The working workflow "Attachments.workflow" consists of:
    Get Specificed Finder Items
    Make Sequential
    Get Folder Contents
    Open Finder Items
    Get Folder Contwents
    Label Finder Items
    Get Folder Contents
    New Dated Folder
    The erronious Folder Action consists of:
    Run Workflow (Attachments)
    In folder actions setup:
    "Enable Folder Actions" is ticked
    "PDF Attachments" folder is ticked
    "Attachments_folder.workflow" script is on.

    I'm confused. You showed two Automator actions with the same name, one was a folder action one wasn't.
    Are you sure the correct Automator action (the one that is a folder action) is attached to the folder?
    If when the Folders Action setup window is opened and you select Articles_Folder.workflow and then edit script are you getting the right workflow?
    Assuming you do I would start off very simply. Try this:
    It will label green screen shot image files saved to the Desktop.
    See if this works for you.
