Doug Everly has updated his incredibly useful FolderOrg X folder action script (previously discussed in this hint) for compatibility with Safari 1.2, but I prefer to keep my folder organized by the international yyyy-mm-dd format instead of the default January 1 2003 format. Since the script is fully editable, open it with your favorite AppleScript editor and change this (shown as three lines here; not necessarily that way in the code):
-- format date for folder's name (in January 1 2003 format)
copy word 2 of ((current date) as text) & " " & word 3 of ¬
((current date) as text) & " " & word 4 of ((current date) ¬
as text) to the_date
to this:
-- format date for folder's name (in yyyy-mm-dd format)
copy ((offset of (the month of (current date)) in ¬
"jan feb mar apr may jun jul aug sep oct nov dec ") + 3) / 4 ¬
as integer to mo
if mo < 10 then copy "0" & mo as text to mo
copy day of (current date) to da
if (day of (current date) < 10) then copy "0" & da as text to da
copy (year of (current date) as text) & "-" & mo & "-" & da to the_date
Then save your changes.
Disclaimer: the yyyy-mm-dd code was written by Ben Lawson for the AppleScript This Week: Cool Code page. I just put it to use...
