Folder action working only on original machine

Hi,

I wrote a script and i use it as a action connected to a folder wich works out
perfectly, i wrote the script in “ScriptMaker 1.8.3” wich is de Dutsch version of
AppleScript. I use this handler

on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving addedItems
repeat with anItem in addedItems

and i end with …

end repeat
end adding folder items to

I want to have this script on a other machine to work, only when i want to do
the same thing it doesn’t work. But it does work without the handler as above
should i use a other handler ???

The handler looks like it should work. Check the machine that it’s installed on to make sure that the folder action extensions and/or control panels are enabled.

Hi Rob,

The extentie folderactions is there and activated
but wich control panel ???

I couldn’t remember if there was a control panel or not so I threw it in there just in case. Do you realize that with pre-OS X folder actions, the window must be open for the folder action to work? This limit can be overcome with additional software.

Hi

Yes, you where right there is a extention called “folder action plus” when
dropped in the extention folder, the folder wich is your folder actionfolder don’t
have to be open.

Thanks again rob
