To make a script react when a new file is added to a folder you would need to make a folder action and run your script as a script action in the workflow. Hope this helps

Great post, but I’m having a different issue with select all. I’m a photographer and am trying to write a script to manipulate images through a process. I’m stuck at a point where I can manually make the script react, but like it to automatically react when a new image is written to a specific folder. Here is what I have so far:

set this_file to choose file without invisibles
set the target_length to 800
try
tell application “Image Events”
– start the Image Events application
launch
– open the image file
set this_image to open this_file
– perform action
scale this_image to size target_length
– save the changes
save this_image with icon
– purge the open image data
close this_image
end tell
on error error_message
display dialog error_message
end try

I think I’m close if I can get the first line of code corrected. Any assistance would be appreciated
