I'd like to add a particular folder action to a folder. This folder action script should label every ".pdf" inside the folder with a particular color, which i have choosed before. Example: if i drag a "pdf" into that particular folder, that pdf should change its label. Or, else, if i save a .doc document as a ".pdf" into the same folder (that one with folder action) the pdf should change its label. How to?
hints appreciated. best Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. --Philip K. Dick |

this any help ?
Code:
-- hacked apple droplet script to apply labels on pdf's via folder actions
property type_list : {"PDF"}
property extension_list : {"pdf"}
-- check for file or folder in added items and process as required
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
repeat with i from 1 to the count of added_items
set this_item to (item i of added_items)
set the item_info to info for this_item
if folder of the item_info is true then
process_folder(this_item)
else if (alias of the item_info is false and the file type of the item_info is in the type_list) or (the name extension of the item_info is in the extension_list) then
process_item(this_item)
end if
end repeat
end adding folder items to
-- this sub-routine processes folders
on process_folder(this_folder)
set these_items to list folder this_folder without invisibles
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set this_item to alias ((this_folder as text) & (item i of these_items))
set the item_info to info for this_item
if folder of the item_info is true then
process_folder(this_item)
else if (alias of the item_info is false and the file type of the item_info is in the type_list) or (the name extension of the item_info is in the extension_list) then
process_item(this_item)
end if
end repeat
end process_folder
-- this sub-routine processes files
on process_item(this_item)
tell application "Finder"
set label index of this_item to 1
end tell
end process_item save it as a compiled script in your hd>library/scripts/folder actions, then on the menu bar script addition, under folder actions, there is a script to add your saved script to a folder... change the label index value to alter the colour (1 is orange for example) |
