I haven’t touched AppleScript in years so I need to start again. I am tring to write a Folder Action script. This script/folder needs to take a captured Quicktime move, create a folder with the name of the movie (I name the movie), move that movie into the new folder, create one folder called “sequences” and another called “audio”, but inside the new folder. Then the script calls Quicktime to export the frames of the movie and put them into the folder called “sequences” and extract the audio and put it into the folder called “audio”. So, we have the following heirarchy:
capture_folder
some_movie_folder
caputured_quicktime_movie.mov
sequences
frame1.sgi
frame2.sgi
…etc.
audio
captured_movie_audio_file.wav
So far I have:
on adding folder items to capture_folder after receiving captured_movie
try
tell application “Finder”
make new folder at folder capture_folder with properties {name:captured_movie}
end tell
end try
end adding folder items to
Instead of a folder called “captured movie” I get dozens, if not hundreds, of folders named “untitled folder 1”, “untitled folder 2”, etc. Can anybody tell what is going on? I don’t understand why there is this loop of creating folders.
Thanks for your help.
