Use Folder Actions to implement OS 9 folder auto-sorting
Authored by: ewelch on May 26, '03 12:36:43AM

I'm in the process of reading the new book (just released this month), "Teach Yourself Applescript in 24 hours" by Sams, and I noticed in the Finder dictionary that there's an entry dealing with "autorouting."

[routing suppressed boolean] -- Specifies whether or not to autoroute items (default is false). Only applies when moving to the system folder.

Isn't this a way of coercing routing to occur? Or am I not understading what routing is?

It specifically seems to be saying something about what can heppen when a file is moved to the system folder. This is not in the legacy section of the dictionary. It's in the events section of the standard suite.

BTW, the book is great for an Applescript newbie like me! It's about time someone wrote a good, understandable book on Applescript.

Now, who's going to write the book on Applescripting Photoshop?

Yes - I saw this too - however this refers to the OS 9 system folder - I'm 99% sure that Mac OS X can not autoroute.
