I’ve been trying to sort this one out:

When new files are added to a folder on my desktop (via another applescript), I’d like those files to be opened with another application (in this case flickr uploadr).
This is what I have so far, but it doesn’t seem to do the trick :slight_smile:


on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
	tell application "Finder"
		open application "Flickr Uploadr"
	end tell
end adding folder items to

Browser: Safari 419.3
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.4)
