Still better...theoretically then :)
Authored by: alex_kac on Sep 12, '02 09:15:46PM

OK, I admit - I haven't done much of folder actions on OS X, but I've heard good things from others who have.

Now, I wasn't aware that you have to reset the folder action each time you login. If so, then Folder actions are seriously broken in OS X.

In any case, for the normal Mac user, I still think that Folder actions are better - if the underlying tech works. Even if the AppleScript calls the shell script - its better if you can do a seamless install for them.

That's all - I prefer the shell scripts myself, but I think it will intimidate most Mac users who need to deal with this.
