Strange to me I can’t figure out why I can not get my folder actions to work.
A simple script such as this :

on opening folder this_folder
	tell application "Finder"
		activate
		display dialog "You opened this folder"
	end tell
end opening folder

… with my Folder Actions Enabled. Nothing happens. I open up my configure folder actions and I see the folder I have attached to it. When I hilite that I see the script is attached and enabled. Any guess what I should do to test this folder action thing a ma boopie ??? Any help is a hand… thanks everyone! :o

The other little thing is that your script has to be in a folder called “Folder Action Scripts” in your “Scripts” folder. If this folder doesn’t exist, you can create it. It won’t show up in the Script Menu, but it seems to be the necessary location for folder action scripts.
