Hello All,
I’ve been trying to write an applescript to make the mac play a sound whenever a download finishes. This is assuming that the download is placed in the “downloads” folder, and I assigned a folder actions script to that folder, which plays a selected sound when a new item is added. This script was modified from the default “add item alert” folder action script provided by Apple. Though this script does run, no sound actually plays when an item is added to this folder. I attached the script to the folder through the folder actions setup dialog.
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
try
tell application "Finder"
--get the name of the folder
set the folder_name to the name of this_folder
end tell
-- find out how many new items have been placed in the folder
set the item_count to the number of items in the added_items
if the item_count is greater than 1 then
do shell script "afplay '/System/Library/Sounds/Purr.aiff'"
end if
end try
end adding folder items to
I am also totally blind, and use VoiceOver on the mac to navigate and use the computer. I’m not sure if I entered the applescript correctly with the brackets, but hopefully it worked if I did do this incorrectly, please let me know so I can correct it in the future.
Thank you all os much,
Rocco
