Camelot was nice enough to help with my problem, thanks a bunch, however I still have a few questions. Here is the script Camelot provided as a starting point:
on adding folder items to theFolder after receiving theAddedItems
repeat with eachItem in theAddedItems
set filePath to POSIX path of eachItem
do shell script "chmod -R 777 " & quoted form of filePath
end repeat
end adding folder items to
I have the file paths for “theFolder” which is the so called dumping ground and “theAddedItems” I just have as an empty string “” because the files are coming from various tapes and places. My question is what is the “filePath” and “eachItem” and how do I go about defining those objects?
Thanks in advance for the patience of dumb questions from an AppleScript newbie in a jam.
