Folder Actions are back!
Authored by: prassa on Mar 12, '04 07:22:21PM

How did you enable folder actions at logout or restart ? How can you add this action to login items ? It's possible on Panther ?
Thanks

Folder Actions are reenabled automatically on Panther. Not sure if they activate at login and are active on folders after logout. Can't test it right now. All I know for sure is one I set up for DEVONthink a few months ago has worked ever since without doing anything more and I've rebooted a dozen times since then.

By the way, configuring Folder Actions is much easier in Panther from the contextual menu with any folder(s) selected. In fact, one I tried setting up a few days ago didn't work using the old script menu method described in this hint but this morning I remembered the new way and that worked perfectly.

If you go to /Volumes/MainDisk/Library/Scripts/Folder Actions/, where MainDisk is where OS X is installed, you will find a file called "Enable Folder Actions.scpt". Open this in Script Editor and save it as an Application, checking the Run-Only button, and unchecking the SplashScreen button. Then add this application to your login items. Voila!
